Providing for increased organizational effectiveness and sustainability through the development of a diversified and solid fund development program, professional development opportunities, effective financial operations, strategic planning and board development.

As the Foundation has grown (through its former identity as the Gaia Foundation), it has recognized that those involved in overseeing and delivering the important work of the Foundation must grow in capacity as well. Long-term effectiveness and sustainability throughout the Foundation, as well as the organization with which it partners, are required to ensure our mission and vision are attainable.
