Mission & Focus Areas
Winrock’s stated mission is to empower the disadvantaged, increase economic opportunity, and sustain natural resources. Its program areas include Agriculture, Resilience and Water; the Wallace Center, which works on healthy farms, equitable economies, and resilient U.S. food systems; Human Rights, Education, and Empowerment; Environment and Energy; and U.S. Programs.
Its 2024 grants went to a range of organizations. For example, World Vision describes its mission as working with children, families, and communities worldwide to address poverty and injustice. The Intertribal Agriculture Council says it promotes the conservation, development, and use of American Indian and Alaska Native tribal agricultural resources. International Justice Mission describes its work as protecting people in poverty from violence with partners. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Winrock’s.
