The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, established in 2000, aims to focus the company’s philanthropic efforts towards the greater community. It has historically awarded around $6 million annually in grants, concentrating on the stewardship of natural resources. The Foundation's core interests include responsible mining—emphasizing remediation and land preservation—as well as coral and marine conservation, specifically through supporting marine protected areas and promoting the significance of coral reefs to ecosystem health.
The grant program of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation supports various organizations dedicated to natural resource conservation, with specific emphasis on responsible mining and coral conservation. Under responsible mining, it backs initiatives promoting the ethical extraction of precious metals, diamonds, and colored gemstones, and supports communities affected by mining activities, primarily focusing on regions like the American West and Sub-Saharan Africa. When it comes to coral conservation, the Foundation places a high value on healthy ocean ecosystems and the pivotal role of coral reefs within them, opposing the sustainable removal of corals for jewelry or decor purposes. It funds efforts geared towards ocean health improvement, coral reef research, preservation, and management.
