Hind Foundation: Supplemental Grant

The Hind Foundation's Supplemental Grant program supports community-based organizations with essential projects that may not qualify for a Standard Grant. Since its inception in 2006, it has funded diverse initiatives including ecosystem conservation, historical landmark restoration, and the promotion of music and visual arts. This program emphasizes the importance of collaboration among organizations to enhance habitats, preserve history, and foster artistic expression, ultimately benefiting local communities and their cultural heritage.

NOTE: Once a grant is denied applicant must wait one year before reapplying.
Our Supplemental Grant program was established to recognize and support
community–based organizations whose important programs or projects may
not require the resources provided through a Standard Grant.
these funds have helped assist successful fundraising events, provide
students with educational opportunities, and facilitate the
implementation of numerous projects that fit within our areas of
funding:

• Ecosystem Conservation
• It’s up to us to conserve and restore our ecosystems so that plant and wildlife can sustain and thrive

Abundant plant and wildlife populations are dependent on the ecosystems in which they live. Today, these essential habitats – made up of wetlands, estuaries, watersheds, and other sensitive areas – cannot be sustained on their own.
Our Ecosystem Conservation program funds projects and programs that focus on the enhancement of habitats in which plants and wildlife thrive. We know that proper conservation and restoration of our ecosystems can only be accomplished when like-minded organizations work together for this common goal
Historical Landmark Restoration
Embedding the traditions of time within architecture, rather than within pictures, provides a more literal preservation of the past. This historical reference gives new generations a better perception of community history and inspiration towards the future.
Our Historical Landmark Restoration program funds the restoration, preservation, or acquisition of projects with historical significance that are 100 years or older, including new construction, enhancements, or improvements to buildings, monuments, landmarks, and documents.
Music & Visual Arts
Our Music & Visual Arts program funds projects and programs that promote a robust arts community where talented artists can have adequate access to training, working facilities, artist work spaces, and other resources.
Plant & Wildlife Protection
Today’s plants and wildlife are confronted with greater challenges than ever before.
Our Plant & Wildlife Protection program funds private organizations that desire to see plant and wildlife flourish and that work for the protection and conservation of endangered and threatened species.
Land Conservation
Our Land Conservation program supports the protection and management of land with scenic, agricultural, or cultural values, such as parks, streams, and botanical gardens. We fund non-advocacy organizations with an active membership base that are hands-on and committed.
