The Foundation’s environmental support targets three areas: (1) Chesapeake Bay watershed including the Anacostia River; (2) oceans; and (3) recycling and reuse. The Foundation makes grants to national and local organizations that promote science-based conservation, science-based legal and political advocacy, and education within these areas. Recycling and re-use grant making focuses on end-of-product life and on manufacturer responsibility and accountability.
