Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Marine and freshwater conservation: fisheries management, Amazon basin, Canadian coast
Fundamental science instrumentation: astronomy, quantum imaging, electron microscopy
Bay Area land acquisition, open space, and wildfire resilience science
Science museums and informal STEM learning, heavily Bay Area
Deforestation-free commodity supply chains and nature-related financial disclosure
Patient care improvement, notably diagnostic excellence in medicine

Typical grant

Median grant is $100,000, with the middle half running $5,000 to $400,000, so most of the file is small. The money concentrates at the top: multi-year initiative grants of $1M to $20M go to large intermediaries (New Venture Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, MakeWay), university instrument builds, and named research programs. Repeat giving is the norm rather than the exception; Smithsonian, UC Regents, Stanford, Exploratorium, Nature Conservancy and MakeWay each appear multiple times in a single year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“IN SUPPORT OF”
“TO ADVANCE”
“durable marine conservation”
“science-based fisheries management”
“advancing our understanding of”
“to enable”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame instrument or method work as new capability for a field, not one lab's project.
Connect conservation work to Amazon freshwater, Bering Sea fisheries, or Bay Area land protection specifically.
Ask $1M to $3M for a multi-year build with a named platform, database, or facility.
Emphasize open data, community access, and resources shared with the broader scientific community.

Worth knowing: California dominates by a wide margin (1,366 of 4,004 grants), and Bay Area institutions like Exploratorium, UC campuses, Stanford and Cal Academy recur year after year, which reads as relationship-driven. Recent large checks flow increasingly through fiscal sponsors and intermediaries (New Venture Fund, Multiplier, Resources Legacy Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors) rather than direct to operating nonprofits.
