About Rangeland Foundation
Rangeland Foundation concentrates its giving on wildlife conservation and predator protection in the American West, with a particular emphasis on wolf recovery and anti-trapping/anti-lethal-control work. The foundation favors regional advocacy, research, and nonprofit sanctuary groups that work on policy, litigation, field research, and public education to protect predators and their habitats. Grants are targeted to organizations operating in the Northern Rockies and adjacent western states rather than broad national charities. Its portfolio mixes conservation science and on-the-ground protection with advocacy aimed at changing management practices and laws.

About Rangeland Foundation
Rangeland Foundation’s recent giving is built around wolf recovery and predator protection in the American West, with large grants to organizations such as Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, Wolf Haven International, and Living With Wolves. The foundation backs work that touches policy, litigation, field research, coexistence, and public education, and its grants regularly support groups operating in the Northern Rockies and adjacent western states. Recent awards also show attention to anti-trapping and predator-protection campaigns, along with sanctuary and rehabilitation efforts for native predators. The portfolio is concentrated rather than broad. Grantees include regional conservation NGOs, ecological research centers, and advocacy organizations that work on large carnivore protection and wilderness conservation. The foundation’s support for wolf-related work appears in both the Rocky Mountain region and broader western advocacy, alongside funding for habitat and rangeland stewardship tied to predator conservation. Recent grants also reach groups focused on genetics, conservation aviation, and human-wildlife coexistence, indicating a mix of science, field work, and policy-oriented conservation funding. Across the recent list, the foundation favors nonprofit organizations rather than individuals, and its giving pattern points to a targeted program strategy centered on predators and the landscapes they occupy.
