Resources Legacy Fund (RLF) designs and builds conservation initiatives for philanthropic partners, combining expertise in policy, law and science to turn donor goals into environmental outcomes. Rooted in California and active across Western North America and beyond, the organisation works with urban communities, conservation constituencies, business leaders and policy officials. Over 25 years it has helped generate more than $30 billion in new public funding and conserve over five million acres.
Its programme work spans four priority areas: lands conservation, rivers and watersheds, coasts and oceans, and climate adaptation and resiliency. Alongside these, RLF operates as a platform for high-impact initiatives and donor collaborations, applying the same model of strategy and execution to causes including voting rights, reproductive rights, gun safety, health, arts and education.
Work at RLF draws on technical domains spanning policy, law, science, conservation strategy and execution, philanthropic initiative design and management, and donor collaboration platforms. The stated mission is a just and resilient world for people and nature, pursued through bold, innovative strategy and collaborative delivery.
