NEBF Funding Priorities and Special Interests

Funding Priorities

The Foundation’s funding priorities are targeted to environmental issues with special program interests in:

• Marine conservation

• Estuary protection

• Sustainable economic development

• Sustainable organic agriculture

• Environmental education for teachers or elementary school students

Special Interests

We are focusing our grant-making to projects that think especially of the communication of the message through art and culture.

• Some examples of these include using art to draw murals to spread the message; theatre, masks and puppetry to tell a story; singing, music and dance to attract an audience.

• Visual models that show a before and after effect (i.e., clay models showing the deforestation of an area).

• The message may be conveyed using humor as with mimes or cartoons drawings.

• Other means of reaching larger audiences include town criers and radio programs that focus on a theme or story.

• In other words, use your imagination to think of creative ways to spread the important work of your NGO to more listeners and to make a lasting impact by incorporating the arts and local culture.
