The Conservation Fund- America's Partner in Conservation

The Conservation Fund is the nation’s foremost environmental nonprofit dedicated to protecting America’s most important landscapes and waterways for future generations. The Conservation Fund pioneers a balanced, non-advocacy, non-membership approach to conservation, one that blends environmental and economic goals and objectives. Since its founding in 1985, the Fund has helped its partners safeguard wildlife habitat, working farms and forests, community greenspace, and historic sites totaling nearly 6 million acres nationwide. The Conservation Fund is recognized annually as one of the nation’s top environmental organizations by two charity watchdog organizations, American Institute of Philanthropy and Charity Navigator. The Fund's commitment to donors and to fiscal responsibility is a core value that guides decision-making at all levels.
