blue moon fund

blue moon fund in Charlottesville, VA is the primary funder for the Viable Futures Toolkit. Its mission is to improve the human condition by changing the relationship between human consumption and the natural world. The blue moon fund’s major areas include:
1) rethinking consumption and energy
2) balancing human and nature ecosystems
3) re-energizing urban communities

Annie E. Casey Foundation

Additional funding for the Toolkit was provided by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which works to build better futures for disadvantaged children and their families in the United States. The primary mission of the Foundation is to foster public policies, human service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today’s vulnerable children and families.

We also thank AARP for their additional support in the application of the toolkit in selected communities.

We thank these foundations for their support but acknowledge that the findings and conclusions presented in the Viable Futures Toolkit and viablefuturestoolkit.org are those of the Project Staff alone. As such, they do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the foundations.
