Here is today’s featured foundation.

Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation

Website: https://cgmf.org/

Mission & Purpose: To force innovative, sustainable solutions for human and environmental problems. Based in Texas, the foundation works as an engine of change in both policy and practice, focusing on environmental protection, social equity, and economic vibrancy.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is focused on the state of Texas. They are a strategic, mission-driven funder with very specific initiatives: Clean Energy, Land Conservation, Water, and Sustainability Education. They generally do not accept unsolicited proposals for general support; instead, they look for partners who align with their specific sustainability goals.

Featured Opportunity: Their "Water Program" is a major initiative. They are actively funding projects that advance water conservation, protect headwaters, and ensure that Texas has a sustainable water supply for both people and nature. This is a top-tier opportunity for environmental groups working on water policy.

Recommendation: A Texas-based environmental organization or university research center working on high-level water conservation or clean energy policy (not just local cleanup days).
