Environmental Funds can’t talk about what they are going to do without talking about how to get the money for it. They also can’t get money without showcasing their programs to date. This is a difficult conundrum for nonprofits, but it also is the basis for effective fundraising. Every new effective program is another promotional opportunity that demonstrates the Environmental Funds’ capacity, effectiveness, and ability to take on ever more ambitious projects.
There is a global hunger for effective ways to ensure transparent spending and effective conservation of both species and ecosystem services and much heightened interest in tying conservation programs directly to local livelihoods. In-
ternational treaties, carbon conferences, new markets, are all fueled by increasing global awareness of the importance of Environmental Funds’ missions!
