In September, Earth Economics was thrilled to launch the inaugural Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund application. We received a number of compelling applications; among them, PeaceTrees Vietnam’s request for a working map resource to support their demining efforts in central Vietnam.

At the end of 2021, the Earth Economics Board of Directors created the Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund in honor of our Board Chair of 13 years, Ingrid Rasch. Each year, the Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund will enable Earth Economics to provide pro bono technical assistance to one non-profit or community-based organization to advance local solutions to environmental injustice, climate hazards, and the threats of displacement. We are thrilled to announce the 2022 recipient of this new award.
