Protecting the Environment

The Moriah Fund phased out its environmental grantmaking program in 2003 and we no longer accept proposals in this area. 

In 2005, in honor of Moriah's long-time program director Jack Vanderryn, we made a final three-year grant to the Environmental Leadership Program to establish the Vanderryn Fellowship Program.  This program wil provide training and support to emerging young environmental leaders from the Southeastern United States.   For more information on the Vanderryn Fellowship Program, go to www.elpnet.org/fellowship.php.
