Description:

Since 1991, the Packard Foundation has been supporting work in Mexico, providing grants that contributed to the conservation and sustainability of the country’s marine and coastal biodiversity and strengthened civil society organizations primarily in two key regions: the Gulf of California and the Yucatan Peninsula. Other key funders for this work include the Marisla Foundation, the Sandler Family Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, and the Helmsley Charitable Trust, among others. In 2023, the Foundation convened their partners to better understand the accomplishments thus far, remaining challenges for the environmental movement, and opportunities for continuing progress. The retrospective included input from 40 civil society organizations and 10 individuals with experience in the conservation sector. The following summary presents the perspectives of their grantee partners, shared to encourage other foundations to acknowledge and take into account these insights and recommendations.
