The Conservation Alliance aims to protect natural places by expanding its network of grantee and business partners to include everyone committed to conservation efforts. The organization is dedicated to creating new systems and structures that unify all groups, organizations, and businesses working towards the protection of our shared natural environments.
The Confluence Program is designed to intentionally connect with historically racially excluded communities for the protection of natural places. It awards four grants annually to groups led by People of Color, including Asian, Black, Brown, Hispanic, Indigenous, Latin American, and other racially excluded communities working on land and/or water conservation. Each grantee receives $100,000 over two years to support their conservation efforts aimed at fostering a planet where natural places, wildlife, and people coexist and thrive. The program emphasizes building trust and meaningful relationships with its grantees by offering resource-sharing and communications support tailored to their unique needs. It also aims to bridge the financial gap for conservation efforts by capturing learnings, sharing applicant information with other funders, and facilitating connections within its network to support qualified groups seeking funding.
