Action Funds

The Elephant Crisis Fund (ECF) directly supports the best efforts from organizations working to save elephants, giving organizations large and small access to emergency funding and innovative technology to conserve and manage elephant populations.

The Leuser Ecosystem Action Fund (LEAF) helps raise resources to support the network of grassroots activists across the region who protect this wildland. Whether they are focused on orangutan rehabilitation and release, or working with Sumatran rhino protection patrols to prevent poaching, support from the fund allows partners to scale up their work and focus on the long-term impact of their programs.

Within a span of two weeks two in November 2020, Mesoamerica was pummeled by hurricanes Eta and Iota. Nicaragua and Honduras were hit directly. The Category 4 and Category 5 hurricanes recorded winds of 160 miles-per-hour and dumped more than 30 inches of rain, causing mass devastation to the Moskitia Forest— one of the Five Great Forests of Mesoamerica. The Mesoamerica Climate Resilience and Response Fund helps get Indigenous and local communities living in Moskitia emergency relief.

The Shark Conservation Fund (SCF) is the world’s leading collaboration of philanthropists dedicated to restoring ocean health through shark and ray conservation. Its mission is to help maintain the vibrancy of the world’s oceans by stopping the overexploitation of sharks and rays and to prevent extinctions through strategic and collaborative grantmaking.
