Aaron and Patricia Blumberg Foundation

About Aaron and Patricia Blumberg Foundation

Across multiple years, the Aaron and Patricia Blumberg Foundation has backed a small group of conservation and advocacy organizations with repeated general support, including Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, African Wildlife Foundation, and Greenpeace Fund Inc. Those recurring awards point to a foundation that favors established groups working on oceans, wildlife, and environmental campaigns rather than one-off project grants. The recent record shows grants at several levels, with repeated gifts of $50,000, $40,000, $30,000, $25,000, and $20,000 to nonprofit organizations working in marine protection, terrestrial wildlife conservation, and environmental advocacy. The foundation’s giving is not limited to one subsector: it includes groups focused on ocean defense, gorilla conservation, anti-poaching work, species protection, and broader environmental policy. Its largest recent awards went to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, African Wildlife Foundation, and Greenpeace Fund Inc., each receiving $50,000 in 2025. Other recipients in the record include World Wildlife Fund Inc, The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust USA, and Big Life Foundation USA, showing a consistent pattern of support for organizations with national or international reach and a conservation-oriented mission.
