Description:
Temper of the Times Foundation provides funds to nonprofit organizations classified as 501(c)(3) public charities by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation does not provide grants to individuals, for-profit organizations, or government agencies. Grants are awarded for projects that will lead to measurable outcomes for wildland ecosystem conservation and restoration in the United States. Grants may be used to fund the production of print, radio, or television ads, to pay for advertising space or airtime, or to produce or distribute pamphlets, books, videos, or press packets. Because grants are for wildland ecosystem advertising campaigns—not for general organizational support—they may not be used to cover costs associated with the production of organization newsletters, membership campaigns, or for staff salaries. In addition, Temper of the Times Foundation cannot fund lobbying efforts or candidates for political office.
Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Ecological importance of issue
- Timeliness of issue
- Level of detail and creativity
- Likely impact
- Track record of organization submitting the proposal
Projects that are likely to have impactful and immediate effects on wildland ecosystem conservation and restoration will be prioritized over those that are purely educational in nature. Applicants will be informed of the Foundation’s decision by email, approximately six weeks after the application deadline.
Program area: Environment & Parks
Eligible applicants:
Non-Profits that are promoting increased awareness about wildland conservation and restoration of native wildlife, plants, and ecosystems in the United States. The Temper of the Times Foundation also supports earned media campaigns and other efforts to communicate about conservation and restoration initiatives and actions.
