Point Blue's 160 conservation professionals develop nature-based solutions to climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental threats to benefit wildlife and people
Why the Arntz Foundation Supports Point Blue
"The Arntz Family Foundation began supporting Point Blue in 2011 after learning about its impactful Students and Teachers Restoring A Watershed (STRAW) program, which engages young people in hands-on watershed science and restoration. Point Blue has a unique science-driven, collaborative approach to conservation that not only restores critical habitats but also empowers communities to take action for climate resilience. Recognizing the importance of long-term organizational sustainability, the Arntz Family Foundation believes in a trust-based approach to philanthropy and provides general operating support to their grantee partners. This critical unrestricted support allows Point Blue the flexibility to invest in strategic priorities, strengthen its operational resilience, and respond to emerging conservation challenges. The Arntz family has a deep personal connection to these efforts, with a longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and education, recognizing the vital role that healthy ecosystems play in both local and global sustainability."
