The mission of the Burning Foundation is to protect our region's rivers, forest, native fish, and land, focusing on preserving habitats that are part of larger functioning ecosystems in Washington and Oregon.
The grant program offered by the Burning Foundation aims to provide financial assistance to organizations involved in the preservation of habitats that support biodiversity and afford quiet, remote recreation in Washington or Oregon. The program seeks to ensure the conservation of areas that are crucial for sustaining a healthy ecosystem. Grants are awarded in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $15,000, with an approximate total of $650,000 distributed annually.
Preference will be granted to community organizations focusing on enhancing their local surroundings and statewide entities tackling broad conservation and protection challenges, over national bodies undertaking initiatives in the Pacific Northwest.
