Foundation support helps ensure that organizations leading conservation, climate resilience, and environmental justice efforts have access to the economic evidence they need.
While these on-the-ground organizations are leaders for climate resilience, conservation efforts, and nature-based solutions, they don’t often have the capacity or sustained funding to obtain the crucial analysis their projects require. Foundation support allows us to close this gap and help organizations advance policy, planning, and funding decisions that fully account for nature’s value.

FOUNDATION FEATURE
THE KRESGE FOUNDATION
Since 2013, support from the Kresge Foundation—including its Climate Resilience and Equitable Water Systems (CREWS) initiative—has helped Earth Economics provide decision-ready economic analysis to community-led projects and nature-based solutions across the country. Kresge's investment has enabled us to partner with a diverse network of nonprofits, community organizations, and public agencies to strengthen policy, planning, and investment decisions that account for nature's value.
Through this partnership, we've supported organizations such as Groundwork USA, Freshwater Future, and the Community Justice Project with economic analyses, decision-support tools, and community-driven research. These efforts have helped communities strengthen the case for nature-based infrastructure, improve climate resilience planning, and advocate for more equitable policies. These examples represent just a few of the many organizations and initiatives made possible through Kresge's longstanding support.

Thinking of other ways to give?
There are many ways to give, such as donating airline miles, making a stock gift, giving through a donor-advised fund, or making a qualified charitable distribution directly from your IRA.
We're happy to help you find the giving option that's right for you.
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70 ½ years old or older to donate up to $110,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.
