DDCF: Environment Program Grants

The Doris Duke Foundation's Environment Program grants aim to foster a resilient environment through effective conservation efforts. By supporting U.S. nonprofit organizations, the foundation seeks to protect biodiversity, address climate change, and advance equity, particularly for marginalized communities. The program emphasizes land conservation, natural climate solutions, and inclusive practices, ensuring that conservation efforts benefit both wildlife and people. This initiative is pivotal for enhancing the health of ecosystems and communities across the United States.

NOTE: Through the Environment Program, the foundation typically awards grants via invited proposals and, occasionally, open funding competitions. Unsolicited proposals about future support for projects that fall within the Environment Program's three primary grantmaking strategies can be submitted through a letter of inquiry.

Eligibility

Only letters of inquiry submitted by U.S. nonprofit organizations will be reviewed.

Ineligibility

The foundation cannot award grants directly to individuals.
