Description
The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation, administered by GMA Foundations, supports projects that protect the environment, improve food production, and promote public health. It funds applied research, pilot projects, new initiatives, training, and technical assistance rather than ongoing support for established programs. Its geographic focus is Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The foundation emphasizes locally generated solutions, local leadership, professional development, and the capacity of organizations and coalitions. It prefers under-funded issues and geographic areas, providing seed money to help promising work establish a track record for larger foundation funding. Across its fields, it prioritizes projects that advance knowledge, support replication, influence public opinion and policy, change systems, and benefit people beyond the immediate project.
