Mortenson Family Foundation builds partnerships to strengthen community-driven approaches that advance equity, opportunity, and sustainable systems.
The Sustaining Environmental Systems grant by the Mortenson Family Foundation focuses on supporting organizations that work on environmental solutions and stewardship, particularly those led by and for communities most affected by environmental impact. It prioritizes initiatives that foster opportunities for all communities to engage in learning and advocacy for non-extractive relationships with land and water, promote racial and climate justice, and encourage integrated approaches for handling climate change effects. Additionally, it seeks partners working towards sustainable economic options, policy solutions centered on community voice, and comprehensive approaches for deeper environmental impacts, especially favoring those that combine education, advocacy, and sustainable development. Multi-year grants may be offered to support these objectives further, with a deliberate inclusion of BIPOC and other historically marginalized communities in environmental leadership and stewardship roles.
