National focus

Geographic focus

The Packard Foundation is a Bay Area–rooted funder that concentrates on marine science and ocean conservation, climate and clean energy systems, and reproductive health/justice, while also supporting children's health through its eponymous foundation. Its giving mixes very large, multi‑year investments in flagship research and conservation institutions with sustained support for policy intermediaries and pooled funds that scale climate and ocean policy work. The foundation’s grants are heavily California‑focused but routed often through national and international public foundations and networks to leverage broader policy impact.

Marine science, research institutions, and aquarium-based conservation (e.g., Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Monterey Bay Aquarium Foundation)
Ocean and fisheries sustainability / island and coastal ecosystem restoration (e.g., Island Conservation, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership)
Climate policy, clean energy transition, and environmental advocacy networks (e.g., ClimateWorks Foundation, Energy Foundation, Resources Legacy Fund)
