WHOOPS! You've opened the door to our past instead of our future. Please join us at the new Quixote Foundation website.

Environmental equity supports the health, natural beauty and prosperity we need to thrive.

Quixote Foundation invests in policy research, engagement and pilot strategies to activate a diverse environmental movement.  Our funding is committed for 2014.  Grants include support for Sightline, the Center for Social Inclusion and the National Wildlife Federation.

Our goals:

  • Environmental protection is considered as part of every decision people make
  • Ways of living that protect the planet can be implemented affordably
  • People have the will to reduce their impact on climate change

Core approaches and concerns:

  • Diversify the environmental movement with a focus on race
  • Diversify the way the environmental movement defines itself
  • Build progressive infrastructure
  • Weave multiple strands: environmental restoration, protection and preventive action

How we pursue our work:

  • Provide and advocate support for organizations led by people of color, engaging people of color in environmental issues
  • Bring a greater diversity of people into the environmental movement
  • Take the environmental movement out to a greater diversity of people
  • Convene progressive leaders across topics with environment as an underlying theme
