Conservation
Every year we disperse funds to several worthwhile local conservation groups that share our goals and values. The committee meets in January of each year to decide who will be the recipients. We focus on several key areas: educational activities involving children; the protection, restoration and increasing California native habitats; preservation and restoration of gardens, parks, and public spaces; pollinator gardens that support our native pollinators; and educational activities and resources related to the environment and the social issues of our times.

The Conservation Committee directed its 2026 grants toward Bay Area organizations working in several key areas: environmental education for children; protection, restoration, and expansion of California native habitats; preservation and restoration of gardens, parks, and public spaces; and pollinator gardens that support our native bees and other pollinators. More information about the grant recipients and their initiatives can be found at the links in the list of recipients.
