Mission & Focus Areas
Mission Statement: The mission of the George B. Storer Foundation is to promote an ecologically rich and economically prosperous future for current and future generations. The foundation believes in protecting vital natural resources that support healthy economies, and in equipping and empowering future generations to be strong leaders, engaged citizens, and good stewards of those resources.
Strategic Focus Areas:
Wyoming Landscapes & Communities The foundation seeks to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for Wyoming by advocating for conservation of the state's unique landscapes and wildlife, promoting economic diversification, developing sustainable communities, and fostering an engaged citizenry. The foundation recognizes that Wyoming's economy is heavily dependent on fossil fuel extraction, and believes that a diversified economy supporting strong communities is essential for an ecologically rich and prosperous future. Recent activities have included funding digital marketing firms to work with Wyoming nonprofits on online fundraising and digital engagement, supporting a Wyoming narrative project to identify and communicate a common vision for the state, and funding educational tours for Wyoming lawmakers on critical conservation issues.
Early Childhood Education The foundation is committed to developing healthy, happy, creative, and curious children. It believes that achieving this goal requires the integration of developmentally appropriate, natural, and imaginative learning opportunities into the fabric of early childhood education.
Climate & Democracy The foundation believes that the dual crises of climate change and the erosion of democratic norms pose the greatest threat to our collective future. It holds that healthy democracies cannot survive in a world plagued with natural disasters, food scarcity, and uninhabitable lands, and that elected leaders must respect the rule of law and uphold a fact-based ethos to bring about an orderly transition to a clean economy.
Grantmaking
The foundation made 41 grants in its most recent reporting year. Typical grant awards range from $800 to $640,000. Recent grantees have included the North American Association For Environmental Education.
