Environment
Icicle Fund envisions a future where intact landscapes, representative of the biodiversity of the region, provide opportunities for all people to connect with the land and water through stewardship capacity and policies that inspire long-term commitment to place.
FUNDING PRIORITIES
We prioritize funding of organizations and projects that work towards five strategic goals within conservation. Icicle Fund’s six lead partners are committed to engaging in collaborative initiatives and strategic efforts in these areas. Our grant funding decisions align with these goals and with our commitment to supporting diversity and equity throughout conservation work.
STRATEGIC GOALS:

Build partnerships to advocate for strong policies to support land and water conservation through a variety of approaches
Collaborate to conserve priority areas that sustain natural systems and species, connect across habitat types, and protect the flow of ecological and socioeconomic services
Increase resilience to the local effects of climate change, in particular for climate-vulnerable populations or communities, and
Work collaboratively to utilize multiple funding sources and increasingly leverage the Icicle Fund investment in conservation
PRIORITY LANDSCAPES INCLUDE:
Natural lands that sustain systems and species, connect habitat types, and ensure the flow of ecological and socioeconomic services
Working farms, ranches, and forests that balance human use with habitat protection and contribute to landscape connectivity
