The Resources Legacy Fund is a philanthropy organization that works in the western United States to fund land, watershed, and marine conservation, as well as other multisolving policies that increase resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, among other benefits. As part of their work, they focus on helping organizations build capacity, uniting diverse coalitions to empower communities, and promoting environmental justice and equity. Resources Legacy Fund “has not only secured on-the-ground accomplishments of lands and waters saved, policies passed, other organizations grown into capable long term advocates, and public funds approved; it has provided foundations and individual donors with an innovative and highly effective model of how to use philanthropy to create conservation outcomes.”
