About Ecohealth Alliance

About Ecohealth Alliance
EcoHealth Alliance Inc concentrates its grantmaking on conservation and emerging diseases, with a repeated pattern of funding organizations that work at the wildlife–human health interface. The largest recent award in the data goes to Partners in Animal Protection and Conservation for conservation and emerging diseases, a signal that the funder backs applied field work as well as research. A second major recipient, Solimar International, received similarly large support for conservation and emerging diseases, showing that the foundation funds multiple partners at substantial scale rather than a single long-running project. The grant list shows a mix of universities, medical research institutions, and specialist conservation organizations. Washington State University appears multiple times for conservation and emerging diseases, while Henry M Jackson Foundation also recurs across several years. Those repeat awards suggest project continuity and multi-year collaboration around surveillance, ecosystem health, and spillover prevention. The foundation’s portfolio is national in scope and stays tightly aligned to scientific and programmatic work tied to One Health approaches.
What Ecohealth Alliance Funds
One cluster of support is field conservation tied to disease prevention. EcoHealth Alliance Inc gave $757,830 in 2024 to Partners in Animal Protection and Conservation for conservation and emerging diseases, and another $693,583 in 2025 for the same general purpose. A second theme is university-based research and surveillance. Washington State University received $287,958 in 2025 and $199,404 in 2024 for conservation and emerging diseases, indicating sustained support for academic work in this area. The foundation also funds medical and public-health research partners. Henry M Jackson Foundation received $443,474 in 2023 and $172,517 in 2024 for conservation and emerging diseases, while The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received grants in 2023 and 2024 for the same purpose. These awards point to a portfolio built around scientific research, implementation, and monitoring rather than broad general operating support.
How Ecohealth Alliance Gives
Typical grants cluster around a median of $150,827, with a lower quartile of $46,312 and an upper quartile of $268,918. The recent awards range from small university and association grants to seven-figure cumulative support across repeat recipients. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Partners in Animal Protection and Conservation, Solimar International, Washington State University, Henry M Jackson Foundation, and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which points to ongoing project relationships rather than one-off gifts. EcoHealth Alliance Inc is not reported as funding individuals or making program-related investments.
