The Wright-Ingraham Institute is seeking applications for its Grant Program.
Wright-Ingraham Institute support non-profit organizations committed to making an impact in addressing environmental problems, engaging in conservation and resource protections, and tackling social concerns. Through these small and mid-scale grants, they aim to support like-minded organizations with missions that align with the work of the Wright-Ingraham Institute.
Focus Areas
The grants are designed to help address problems in three main areas.
-
Climate Change
- Today, efforts to cope with the climate crisis are estimated to be costing the global economy approximately $3 trillion annually. They support organizations that are actively solving problems of how to bring clean air and water to global communities, how to prevent or stem natural disasters and meteorological events, and how to best promote sustainable practices and support renewable sources of energy.
-
Land Issues
- Their grants strengthen organizations that are looking at different ways to apply concepts of sustainability, including ways to reverse the loss of fragile ecosystems that connect people and animals with land, or that work at the nexus of food, fuel and shelter. Additionally, they seek to better understand how human systems and natural systems intersect one another.
-
Wildlife Conservation
- They support organizations that are working courageously on ways to conserve and preserve important wildlife habitats, as globalization continues to seek to develop every corner of the globe.
