Deadline: 16-Mar-22
The James E. Dutton Foundation Grant Program is now open to support organizations that benefit wildlife and/or animal related causes.
The Foundation measures the success as an organization on how well the grants:
- Positively impact the environment, wildlife, and animal life, or
- Enhance human life through nature-related activities and education.
The James E. Dutton Foundation will make grants to organizations for programs which benefit wildlife, domestic animal causes, the environment, and natural resources. In general, the Foundation will support those endeavors that provide care for wildlife and domestic animals, provide domestic animal rescue and/or shelter, enhance wildlife populations through habitat conservation, improvement, and/or restoration, land management, public awareness, and education.
The primary goal of the Foundation will be to fulfill the charitable intent of Jim Dutton and make direct grants to support those organizations and programs, or individuals that benefit wildlife and/or animal related causes. This includes not only direct aid for animal or wildlife causes but support to organizations that may maintain, protect, create, or restore habitat and study the relationship of man and the environment. It will also include grants to organizations and/or programs that positively impact the lives of people by supporting individuals interested in enjoying or caring for wildlife, domestic animals, the outdoors, and the natural resources. The Foundation will also support groups previously supported by Jim as well as other causes the Foundation deems appropriate.
