OUR PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy + Mission

Woodard & Curran Foundation is a public nonprofit organization whose mission is to support nonprofits working to protect our water and environment. Since our founding in 2010, we have committed $1.3M in grants to 80+ nonprofit organizations.

Impact Grants

Woodard & Curran Foundation Impact Grant recipients are nonprofit organizations that align with our mission to protect our water and environment. If your U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization meets our eligibility requirements, we encourage you to apply for our competitive Impact Grants ($100,000 / one-year period of performance).

Giving While Living Grants

The Foundation yearly commits to giving away as much money as possible, while still maintaining a healthy endowment. This intention informs our "giving while living" philosophy. In addition to awarding multi-year Impact Grants, we also issue 1-year grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations across the country. These Giving While Living grantees are nominated and selected by our donors (meaning there is currently no application process) and the grants are funded entirely by donations from Woodard & Curran, Inc. employees, who share our passion for supporting organizations working to protect our water and environment.
