Choosing the Right Partners

Pressure on wilderness, climate and biodiversity has never been greater. Our foundation, the PAW Foundation, aims to mitigate this pressure through the support of impactful organizations and initiatives that protect species and landscapes. We believe this starts with finding and partnering with the best individuals and organizations doing the most critical work on the ground.

Our guiding strategy is defined by the following key priority areas:

• Preserving critical ecosystems
• Managing human / wildlife conflict
• Mitigating immediate threats, such as poaching and trafficking
• Prioritizing organizations with strong ties to the local community
• Focusing on projects where the majority of grant funding goes towards end programs

All our local partners share these same goals and achieve them through a variety of methods such as management of existing parks and protected areas, redefining nature as a viable investment opportunity, rehabilitation and rewilding, and anti-poaching.
