Charlotte Martin Foundation

The Foundation’s next grant cycle will open on May 1st and close on June 1st, 2024. Grant decisions will be announced by July 30th. The Foundation will continue to focus on our two current priorities: 1. Rural BIPOC youth; and 2. Organizations focused on climate change, biodiversity, and wildlife and habitat preservation.

Promoting Biodiversity in a Changing Climate:

Conservation efforts that utilize the impacts of climate change when selecting areas for protection.

Engaging a community of citizens, scientists, and conservationists in educating the public about biodiversity and climate change.

Restoring important lands for biodiversity, focal species, and landscape connectivity. Including but not limited to:

• Assessments to identify species and communities at risk, including strategies to work toward ecosystem resilience.
• Identification of barriers to migration and mitigation measures to enhance landscape connectivity.
• Adaptive restoration strategies based on predicted species range expansion and contraction.
• Promoting the biodiversity of the marine and freshwater environments.
