Mission & Focus Areas

The Foundation shares The Mosaic Company’s mission of “helping the world grow the food it needs.” Its stated priorities include empowering farmers, improving soil health, and protecting water.

Community investment materials also describe support for local schools, health and social services, cultural organizations, and disaster relief in communities where Mosaic operates.

The 2024 grants illustrate several of these areas. The Foundation gave $200,000 to Ducks Unlimited, whose stated mission is to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl, wildlife, and people. American Farmland Trust received $200,000; it describes its mission as protecting farmland, promoting sound farming practices, and keeping farmers on the land. Tampa Bay Watch received $120,000 for oyster restoration and water-quality improvements; it says it works on watershed restoration through community-driven projects, education, and outreach. The $100,000 grant to Nutrient Stewardship Council supported its 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program; the Council describes its mission as providing nutrient stewardship education and certification.
