Description
The Henry David Thoreau Foundation seed-funds environmental programs at U.S. undergraduate institutions through its Faculty Grant Program. Grants support professors developing initiatives centered on undergraduate students, particularly programs that give students hands-on research and leadership opportunities. The foundation seeks to foster environmental leadership and engaged scholarship while building alliances with colleges and universities.
The foundation favors initiatives that can become lasting parts of their institutions rather than one-time projects. Its interests include new branches of environmental programs, promising initiatives that need start-up support before their institutions sustain them, and durable collaborations with community organizations, other institutions, government organizations, or businesses.
