The Everglades Foundation
Since 1993, it has been our mission to lead efforts to restore and protect the greater Everglades ecosystem. The Foundation recognizes the irreplaceable environmental and economic value of America’s "River of Grass." Established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, the funds we raise go towards scientific research, education on the Greater Everglades ecosystem and grants to our conservation partners. The Foundation also supports necessary legal actions to help protect the Everglades. We leverage science and advocacy to help shape the decisions of stakeholders, focus on research, collaborate with fellow organizations and supply grants for the advancement of environmental awareness. The Foundation's world-class science department conducts and sponsors scientific research and analysis; our policies, positions and actions are determined by facts. The Foundation serves as a leader in building consensus for action in support of our mission. Our strength comes from the support we receive from our partners, board, staff and true believers who know we can correct mistakes of the past for the millions of people who depend on the Everglades' future health.
