The Fund supports nonprofits run by leaders intimately familiar with issues and problems facing their community, by providing the training and infrastructure support to help them overcome organizational challenges, build partnerships and lead others to positive solutions. Since its inception, Access has helped to develop leaders and organizations, and improve public policies to benefit low- income communities, African Americans, Latinos, Immigrants and

In 1913 Rockefeller set up the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) to "advance the prosperity of humanity all through the world." In keeping with this expansive responsibility, the Foundation during that time has given critical help to general wellbeing, medicinal instruction, expanding sustenance generation, investigative progression, social research, expressions of the human experience, and different fields everywhere throughout the world.

For example,The The United States needs to save the honey bee population by adding them to the endangered list under the Endangered Species Act implementing a ban on pesticides, creating programs to protect their habitat and establishing funding projects to protect bees on a national level. “Beekeeping Project Grants: Beekeepers are struggling to save the honey bees from a variety of threats. In 2006, a quarter of U.S. bee colonies were vanished by a strange disease called Colony Collapse Disorder. Moreover, the attack of Africanized bees and disease-spreading mites, the entire situation becomes a matter of shocking. This means, that To tackle this situation, different types of grants money provided for beekeepers. Such as, Federal Grants, State Grants, or Corporate Grants, Beekeeping project grants and so on. This is important because A large portion of American agriculture depends on honeybees. According PBS, honey bees pollinate one third of agricultural produce in the U.S. To tackle the above all situation, Federal & state governments, independent organization and some other corporations offers grant money. And this is why They try to raise honeybees and develop scientific research on honeybees to find ways to save them. The main purpose of such research is to keep our honey bees healthy, prevent colony collapse disorder and treatment of

“Since the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), federal agencies have been required to consider the potential environmental consequences of their actions, and to bring the public and other stakeholders into their decision making process. NEPA has been critical to meeting the environmental goals this Nation has set for itself” (Larson, Hess, D 'Avanzo, Stanley, & Sumpter, 2015).

Public lands in the United States provide natural amenities and recreational opportunities for tourists and migrants, and they also provide environmental benefits through the protection of wildlife and their habitats (Lewis et al., 2003; Cline et al., 2011). Most public lands have traditionally been managed for commodity outputs, such as timber, minerals, or livestock forage. However, with rising concern over environmental issues, policies to protect public lands have increased in the United States over the past three decades. For example, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) adopted the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) in 1994 to restrict commodity production on public lands, and the USFS attempted to ban new

The environmental movement in the United States has typically focused its resources on public education, legislative lobbying and litigation. However, the movement’s success in the latter two is highly dependent on the quality and character of elected officials. Successful public education on behalf of the environment translates into greater environmentalist electoral success.

For 3 weeks I worked on my vision. The creativity oozed out of my brain like sweat from a long day’s work. I sketched out a logo for the foundation and put together an example of the packages that would be sent. On top of that I poured myself into research about world hunger. I found out where it’s worst, how much it’s declined over the years, and what caused the root of the massive problem. I had more solutions made up, but none of the others compared to the FMFF. It was as if the very idea was my child, a vision that I birthed out of my brain.

Although I was resident student and volunteer, I still played large role in helping develop programs and maintaining relationships with other outside organizations, such as Friends of the Chicago River and the Chicago Park District. I also gained experience writing grants and proposals through this position for funding research projects and community-based projects, such as the one I led at Loyola. The project was an 800 sq. ft. rain garden on the lakeshore that was funded through the Green Initiative Fund at Loyola. It was community-based, so the project could be worked by students and faculty, to promote engagement between smaller organizations within the Institute of Environmental

To understand the critical needs across the national park system, the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation worked together to identify priority programs and initiatives in need of funding that will strengthen and shape the national parks for the next 100 years. Projects include regional opportunities and large, national-level investments like wildlife conservation, trail rehabilitation, and the 21stCentury Conservation Service

However, that “amount is inadequate to maintain and invest in an asset valued at over $90 billion” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). Moreover, by Bilmes and Loomis’ calculations, “Congress has cut its fundings for the NPS by 15% over the past 15 years when inflammation is factored” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). The NPS also “has backlog of overdue maintenance projects that stands at $12 billion and rising” (Bilmes, Loomis 2016). This includes “park infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, campgrounds, trails, and utilities, along with preventing forest fires and repairing historical monuments and visitor facilities” (Bilmes, Loomis

DFS strongly believes that giving back to the communities makes the communities and the company stronger. This is the major initiative that strives DFS to continuously contribute to the society. DFS aims to create a brighter financial future, drive success in schools, and show commitments to the community. It supports local communities by adopting a school in every community where it does business. It provides resources and financial aid to fund academic programs. It also encourages its employees to tutor, mentor, and implement interior and exterior beautification projects at those adopted schools. Other than that, DFS donated $115,000 to National Council on Agricultural Life which provides loans for affordable housing, $380,000 to support new established small

Throughout the past 25 years of its existence, the agency has not gone through major structural changes, but important changes are nevertheless observed at various agency levels. For instance, the funds allocated to the research operations have increased significantly, as the institution became more involved in the pursuit of more environmentally friendly initiatives and alternatives. In such a setting, the number of grants allocated by

The foundation hosts several programs and activities which includes presentations at school and universities, credit workshops for teachers, cultural connection programs, educational seminars etc.

Our nine-member board of trustees (representing the U.S., Netherlands, Japan and Kenya) is primarily responsible for fund-raising, but our on-site project coordinator and local board of governors make crucial recommendations on project funding and oversee project implementation and evaluation. In the first two years of operation. MACODEF raised nearly $25,000 to fund projects in education, health care and micro-enterprise. For example, the following projects were funded over the past two years:

through interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative research, and educational engagement with the community. The centre also strives to increase land productivity, and advance ecosystem services; starting from supply (habitat, fuel, food, etc.) all the way to the end-product (greenhouse gas, waste). This weekend, I was able to be a part of this network when I volunteered at one of their fares (the UBC Farm’s Apple Festival). The volunteers were assigned to do a
