In 2008, the Environment Program pursued three goals:
- Protect the great ecosystems of the North American West
- Slow global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Address environmental problems that disproportionately affect disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area
In order to work toward achieving these goals, the Program made over $89.1 million* in grants to 113 organizations.
