L-A-D Foundation Grants

The L-A-D Foundation grant program seeks innovative projects that support conservation of the natural and cultural resources of the Missouri Ozarks.  Past projects have included environmental and conservation education, grassroots organizing, new program start-up costs, capital support, seed money for cultural resources development, and workshops. Requests for annual or operating support or support for social events or benefits have not been funded. Applicants should have 501(c)3 tax-exempt status or collaborate with another qualifying tax-exempt organization.

Since 1962, the L-A-D Foundation has awarded more than $678,000 in grants to 66 different non-profit and public interest organizations.
