Grants
We fund annual grants that support our mission of promoting watershed health through sustainable land management. Many of our grants support projects that make use of Dixon Ranches and other properties managed by the foundation.
For example, the foundation has funded long-term research on grazing management on our ranches, as well as education programs that use our ranches as laboratories for learning about land stewardship and water conservation.
