Description
The urgency of dealing with climate change, unsustainable consumption, and loss of biodiversity are the overall themes for the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation. The foundation works primarily in the United States, but only on national- and international-level issues. Priority is given to projects that take stock of the scale of the environmental problems; use a systems approach to achieve change; link policy, advocacy, and practical solutions; have international significance and perspective, even if U.S. based; and are based on original thinking and creative ideas. Currently, the foundation considers projects that fall within one of the following categories: Ecosystem Resilience, Protection and Restoration; Framework of Ecological Stability; and Communication and Leadership. The foundation typically supports small or midsize organizations able to demonstrate leadership in developing strategy, communicating vision, and effective project performance. The foundation does not provide core funding.
