Funding Available

Attention, nonprofit organizations: The Edey Foundation, founded by the late Maitland Edey of Seven Gates Farm, has available funds for conservation, energy, education and scientific studies.

In 2011 the foundation gave approximately $71,000 to eight Island organizations for a range of activities, including education programs for the public and for schoolchildren, conservation advocacy, research, and water-bird protection.

Proposals are due Jan. 15 for funding that will be available in March. For copies of the proposal guidelines, contact Beatrice Phear at beaphear2@gmail.com. The Edey Foundation does not fund construction or building projects.
