What they do
The Weeden Foundation embraced the protection of biodiversity as its main priority. Population growth, particularly in the United States, and over-consumption have also evolved into major program interests in order to more fully address the factors driving biological impoverishment. Organizations supported to date range from those that protect ecosystems and wildlife to those that work towards population stabilization and sustainable consumption. The foundation is particularly interested in new and innovative efforts that help to develop sustainable models for conservation action. Projects which serve as catalysts inducing others to lend support receive priority consideration.
