The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation seeks to protect the environment, improve food production, and promote public health in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The Foundation supports projects and applied research that: Generate local or regional solutions to problems affecting the quality of the environment and human life; Advance local leadership and promote professional development in the conservation, agricultural, and health sciences; Develop the capacity of local organizations and coalitions; and Address challenges in the field.
The Foundation prefers to support projects that address under-funded issues and geographic areas. The Foundation funds applied research, pilot projects, new initiatives, training, and technical assistance, rather than ongoing support for programs that are already well underway.
An important goal for the Foundation is to provide seed money to help promising projects, organizations, and individuals develop the track record they need to attract major foundation funding in the future. The following are examples of the Foundation’s areas of interest within the fields of conservation, food, and health, and are not meant to be exclusive.
Conservation grants promote environmental conservation through field research, projects, and advocacy that: Protect biodiversity and preserve natural resources. Help mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Build the scientific and technical capacity of local conservation organizations and promote local, regional, and international partnerships.

Advance farmer research and research partnerships.
Develop environmentally sound and affordable approaches to control pests and diseases affecting important local food crops. Promote indigenous food sovereignty and knowledge systems. Address challenges of uptake and scalability through new methods of extension, education, and technology transfer.
The Foundation supports efforts that test new ideas and approaches that promote public health, with a special emphasis on reproductive health and family planning and their integration with other health promotion activities.
It favors community-level disease prevention and health promotion projects and efforts that help strengthen regional and country public health systems over disease diagnosis, treatment, and care provided by clinics, hospitals, and humanitarian aid programs.
Activities that help increase capacity include applied research, program development, technical assistance, and training projects that: Promote reproductive health and family planning. Address issues related to mental and behavioral health. Address issues relating to pollution and environmental health.
Increase the understanding of zoonotic and neglected tropical diseases. Address issues relating to nutrition and health.
