Bezos Earth Fund
The Bezos Earth Fund is Jeff Bezos’s $10 billion commitment to fund scientists, activists, NGOs and other actors that will drive climate and nature solutions. By allocating funds creatively, wisely and boldly, the Bezos Earth Fund has the potential for transformative influence in this decisive decade. Funds will be fully allocated by 2030—the date by which the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals must be achieved.
With support from the Bezos Earth Fund’s $1 billion overall commitment to restoration made at COP26, NFWF is working to protect and restore degraded landscapes—a critical way to reverse biodiversity loss, enhance water access and quality, build ecosystem resilience, create new jobs and revive rural communities. This work will support conservation projects that generate immediate, overlapping benefits across three urgent areas of concern: advancing carbon goals to mitigate climate change, conserving wildlife biodiversity and boosting the resilience of communities across the nation, including under-resourced communities.
The Bezos Earth Fund supports restoration and conservation of two iconic American landscapes: the Northern Great Plains and southern longleaf forests. Grant-making focuses on projects delivering near-term, on-the-ground benefits for wildlife, carbon sequestration, and communities while building capacity to implement nature-based solutions nationwide.
