Forest Retention & Forest Health
The Endowment works with numerous partners to maintain and improve the health of working forests and to increase forest resiliency, making a material difference to address some of the most significant threats facing forests today including disease, insect infestation, and catastrophic wildfire.
Innovative Finance for National Forests Grant Program
The Innovative Finance for National Forests (IFNF) grant program supports the development and implementation of innovative finance models that leverage private and public capital other than US Forest Service (USFS) annual appropriations to enhance the resilience of the National Forest System (NFS) and deliver commensurate returns to stakeholders.
Hardwood Sector Support
We believe that a strong domestic hardwood industry is essential to the health of America’s forests and the vitality of rural communities. That’s why the Endowment invests in efforts to strengthen, stabilize, and advocate for this uniquely American industry.
Restoring Legacy Mine Lands
The Endowment believes that developing market-based solutions for reforestation and natural climate initiatives is crucial for a sustainable forestry future. That’s why we support innovative partners like Bosland Growth, who are leading the way in restoring legacy mine lands in Appalachia.
