Wildflowers along the Copper River, Alaska © Pete LavigneInformation for Grantseekers
RFA is building an endowment and pursuing other funds to begin grant making as soon as possible. The state of the worldwide economy since September 2001 has presented significant challenges to our endowment campaign. We intend to begin soliciting proposals when we reach the stage where endowment and other income provide a reliable source of funds for grant making. In the meantime we are providing policy, organizational and other types of assistance to selected organizations in our targeted watersheds on a by-invitation-only basis. Please watch this space for future announcements.
