Resources Legacy Fund

RLF builds alliances that advance bold solutions to secure a just and resilient world for people and nature. We mobilize influence, knowledge, and expertise through dynamic partnerships with innovators in communities, philanthropy, government, science, business, and advocacy to protect the environment for the benefit of people and the planet. We help redefine power by elevating the voices and experiences of marginalized communities, supporting them to drive solutions that address their priorities. We maximize results, to leverage philanthropic and public investments to achieve enduring outcomes at scale for environmental protection, climate resilience, and healthy communities. We deploy a thoughtful mix of strategies—including policy and campaign development, advocacy, research, and coalition-building—to secure equitable policies and public funding, and we stay with issues to ensure lasting outcomes. We manage large, multi-year grantmaking programs and financial transactions; land, water, ocean, and climate agreements; fiscally sponsored projects; and efforts to advance social and environmental equity.
