how we work

The Harder Foundation is a long-term, relationship-based funder that strives to build enduring solutions in the Pacific NW and Northern Rockies.

We use strategic grantmaking and collaborative funding to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health for the long-term protection of public forests and public lands, rivers and watersheds, and nearshore marine ecosystems and estuaries. We work towards identifiable outcomes in biodiversity protection in our core geography and have long recognized the value of collaboration with a broad set of stakeholders to achieve our goals.
