About
the Foundation
The primary
mission of Fields Pond Foundation is to provide financial assistance to nature
and land conservation organizations that are community-based and that serve to
increase environmental awareness by involving local residents in conservation
issues.
The Foundation's emphasis stems
from its founding Directors' beliefs that the conservation of special places in
our environment, and providing public accessibility to those conservation
areas, is a desirable end in itself; but it is also a means of building public
support for future land and river conservation by increasing the direct
connection between individuals and their environment, and fostering active
participation in the work of conservation. The Foundation hopes to nurture such
efforts by making grants under the following priorities:
1.
Project grants for trailmaking and other enhancement of public access to
conservation lands, rivers, coastlines and other natural resources;
2. Land acquisition for conservation;
3. Assistance in establishment of endowments as a means of funding stewardship
of conservation areas; and
4. Related education programs and publications.
The Foundation
encourages proposals from municipal government agencies. The Foundation may also consider short-term
loans to conservation groups for the purpose of acquiring conservation
lands.
