Description
Fields Pond Foundation was established in 1993 as a Private Foundation under IRS Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a). Its primary mission is to provide financial assistance to nature and land conservation organizations that are community-based and that serve to increase environmental awareness by involving local residents in conservation issues.
The Foundation hopes to nurture such efforts by making grants under the following priorities:
1. Project grants for trailmaking and other enhancement of public access to conservation lands, rivers, coastlines and other natural resources;
2. Land acquisition for conservation;
3. Assistance in establishment of endowments as a means of funding stewardship of conservation areas; and
4. Related education programs and publications.
The Foundation encourages proposals from municipal government agencies. The Foundation may also consider short-term loans to conservation groups for the purpose of acquiring conservation lands.
Proposals and concept papers may be submitted at any time, since the Directors meet regularly throughout the year.
