Founded in 1935 by Clarence S. Wadsworth, The Rockfall Foundation is one of Connecticut’s oldest environmental organizations, aiming to support environmental education, conservation, and planning initiatives in the Lower Connecticut River Valley. It also manages the deKoven House Community Center, providing space for non-profits.
The Rockfall Foundation's Annual Environmental Grants Program focuses on funding projects and programs that reinforce environmental stewardship through various means such as conservation, preservation of natural resources, restoration of ecosystems, and comprehensive environmental education across all age groups. It targets non-profit organizations, municipalities, and schools within the Lower Connecticut River Valley. The funding supports materials, transportation, program fees, intern stipends, and other related items. Priority areas for these grants include environmental education, planning projects with an eye for sustainability, preservation of the Connecticut River Watershed, innovative waste management and pollution control solutions, open space acquisition, and any projects aligning with these priorities. A special emphasis is placed on educational initiatives that offer experiential learning opportunities, engage diverse age groups, and adapt to digital/virtual formats when necessary.
