Protect the Everglades Now & Forever
Through The Everglades Foundation’s leadership, the world’s largest ecosystem restoration project will be a model for the rest of the globe. As we continue to aggressively push restoration to completion, we also need to pivot to protection, because the encroaching threats to the Everglades will always exist.
That's what inspired our Foundation's three-year $75 million endowment campaign, which started in 2022 and surpassed its goal by raising $76 million by the end of 2024. This successful campaign is a new beginning for The Everglades Foundation and America's Everglades because it enables us to look to the future with confidence, assured that there will always be top scientists, policy experts and educators working on behalf of this national treasure.
We will continue to grow this endowment fund so we can look to the future with confidence. Those who generously contribute to our endowment will leave a magnificent legacy — a legacy of protection — and the assurance that there will always be passionate people armed with state-of-the-art scientific data, fully dedicated to ensuring the survival and sustainability of America’s beloved Everglades for generations to come.
With deep appreciation,
Marshall Field V
