Navigating Today’s Challenges. Building Tomorrow’s Resilience.
In a rapidly evolving landscape, we provide timely support to help conservation leaders stay agile and build stronger, healthier organizations. We ensure that leaders are not just reacting to change – they’re driving it, sustainably and strategically.
Conservation Capacity Project provides free capacity building advisory services and access to expert guidance to U.S. nonprofits working with communities to conserve our land, wildlife, and waters for people and nature.
Who We Support
You! We are committed to serving U.S.-based conservation 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. This includes those advocating for oceans, clean water and local watersheds, urban green space, wildlife habitat, Indigenous-led conservation, public parks and working lands, or those connecting youth, veterans, rural, and historically excluded communities to the outdoors. Conservation leaders who need access to capacity building expertise and one-on-one support are encouraged to sign up for our newsletter.
Conservation Capacity Project provides access to public education and pro-bono, tailored support to enable non-profit organizations to rapidly and strategically respond to immediate challenges and strengthen the health of their organizations. Support includes webinars and one-on-one coaching with experts, many of which have specific expertise in the conservation field, to help strengthen organizational infrastructure such as crisis communications, cybersecurity, financial planning, fundraising, HR, and more.
