Resilient Communities

Resilient Communities

We work in the shadows of skyscrapers in bustling city centers and in one-stoplight rural towns where livestock outnumber the people because we understand that nature and communities depend on each other to stay healthy and strong.

The Conservation Fund partners with grassroots and community organizations, local governments and businesses to improve access to jobs and healthy foods. We help create safe places to play and ensure that historically underserved communities have easy access to greenspace. And when land comes up for sale, we help return stewardship to the people closest to it, as we did when we purchased and returned 28,000 of ancestral land to the Bois Forte Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe after it was put up for sale.

At TCF, we know that supporting economic opportunity makes communities more resilient, healthier and better equipped to safeguard the land, physical structures and stories that will educate and inspire future generations.
