The Davis Conservation Foundation aims to support the wise use, protection, and progress of our physical environment and various life forms within it, including wildlife, sea life, and humans as they are influenced by the environment.
The grant focuses on supporting organizations engaged in projects or programs related to wildlife, their habitats, environmental protection, and outdoor recreation. It emphasizes strengthening volunteerism and community involvement in these areas. The foundation gives highest priority to initiatives targeting the Gulf of Maine, Northern Forest, and projects aimed at climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience.
