#grantmaking

Since its launch in 2021, the program has become the largest private national grantmaking initiative of its kind, supporting visual arts organizations in the United States through assessment, planning, and implementation of efforts to reduce their environmental impact through clean energy generation and energy efficiency measures. Overseen by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in association with Environment & Culture Partners and Green Design Collaborative, FCI has awarded more than $17.5 million to 249 institutions across 40 states to date.

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is has $300,000 in funding available through its 2025 Grantmaking Program. Public agencies, nonprofits and educational institutions are invited to submit pre-proposals for projects that further scientific understanding of the natural world, build capacity in the conservation field or support nature-focused access, interpretation and/or education for the public. There are two award tiers: Tier 1 is for projects up to $30,000 and Tier 2 will fund projects between $30,001 and $60,000.

Capital carries memory. If our relationships with money are complex and connected to our emotional state, then fiduciary duty for impact must measure more than basis points.
