    About New-Land Foundation

    The New-Land Foundation concentrates its grants on environmental conservation—particularly protection of Western U.S. public lands, wildlife habitat and watershed defense—and on peace and arms-control policy, notably nuclear nonproliferation. It favors advocacy, litigation-support, science and journalism groups that advance policy change rather than narrow service delivery. Grants are typically mid-sized and often awarded repeatedly to the same core organizations, indicating sustained multi-year relationships across a relatively compact set of grantees.

    About New-Land Foundation

    The New-land Foundation Inc has built a grantmaking pattern around two policy-heavy lanes: protection of Western U.S. lands and waters, and peace and arms-control work, especially nuclear nonproliferation. Its recent grants show repeated support for organizations that influence public policy, litigation, research, and journalism rather than direct service delivery. In the environmental portfolio, the foundation backs groups working on wilderness defense, wildlife habitat, rivers, and the impacts of mining and off-road vehicle use. In the peace portfolio, it funds think tanks, advocacy groups, and research organizations focused on reducing nuclear risk and advancing arms-control policy. Several grantees recur across multiple years, suggesting long-running relationships with a core set of organizations. Earthjustice received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for environmental work, while Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Arms Control Association each appear in multiple years for peace and arms-control efforts. The foundation also gives to science and journalism organizations that help frame conservation campaigns, including Aspen Journalism and Nautilus Institute, alongside university-based policy work at Princeton University. The result is a compact, issue-focused grantmaking profile centered on systemic change.

    What New-Land Foundation Funds

    In environmental conservation, The New-land Foundation Inc supports groups working on specific Western landscapes and species. Wildearth Guardians received $70,000 in 2025 for environment work, and the Center for Biological Diversity received $35,000 in 2025 for environment. Freshwater and river protection is another clear theme. Utah Rivers Council was awarded $50,000 in 2023 for environment, rivers and clean water, reflecting attention to watershed defense. The foundation also funds environmental advocacy tied to extractive pressures; in 2024 and 2023, the Center for Biological Diversity received support for deforestation and wilderness work. On the peace side, the foundation backs nuclear nonproliferation and arms-control research. Nuclear Information and Resource Service received $75,000 in 2023 for environment, peace, and arms control, while the Los Alamos Study Group received $50,000 in 2024 for peace and arms control. This mix points to policy-oriented grantmaking across both environmental and security issues.
