In June 2000, the Luce Foundation announced a $30 million initiative in the environment, designed to enhance the quality of academic training and research on the environment at small liberal arts colleges and large research universities, and to support ground-breaking projects of environmental organizations that held promise for solving specific problems.
Since the initiative’s launch, the foundation has approved 77 grants ranging from $1,000 to $1.6 million. These grants have reached 35 American colleges and universities, and 32 non-governmental organizations.
Grants in higher education supported interdisciplinary programs, international exchanges, participatory and empirical teaching, and training in environmental management. Grants to environmental organizations focused on large-scale global systems, science-driven public policy, sustainable development, and biodiversity and natural resource management.
With grants approved in March 2007, the foundation reached its goal of $30 million, and celebrated the successful completion of the initiative. Although the foundation is not inviting new proposals, a number of the projects approved during the initiative are still underway. The foundation maintains its commitment to these grants and will attempt to share the learning from this work.
