New Earth Foundation invites applications for environmental, peace projects

The New Earth Foundation (NEF) was founded in 1997 by John Bigelow Loveland to fund innovative humanitarian projects. Since its creation, the foundation has supported organizations involved in leading-edge projects concerning education, communication, clean water, and energy sources, spirit-uplifting arts, the preservation of endangered forests and plant species, self-help methods to curb hunger, and in many other fields, helping people around the globe and the earth to augment peace.

NEF invites applications for innovative projects with the potential to enhance life on the planet, brighten the future, and advance peace. To that end, the foundation will award grants in support of pioneering yet practical projects in many endeavors, including but not limited to environmental initiatives that are working to eliminate pollution and save the planet’s ecosystems, community efforts that create models of social sustainability, educational innovations that prepare youth to become the socially responsible leaders, and strategies that offer economic improvement and opportunities. The foundation particularly seeks projects with the potential to be replicated so excellent ideas and work can multiply and benefit many.

The foundation prioritizes smaller, newer 501(c)(3) organizations so the gift can make a more significant contribution to the work of the recipient organization.

To be eligible, applicants must be tax-exempt as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service.

Letters of inquiry are due July 1, 2024, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a complete application by August 2024.

For complete program guidelines, application instructions, and previously supported projects, see the New Earth Foundation website.

Deadline: July 1, 2024 (Letters of Inquiry)
