The Hawaiʻi Conservation Alliance Foundation (HCAF) was formed in September of 2006 by the members of the Hawai'i Conservation Alliance (HCA). The HCAF was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to secure private support for the programs and activities of the HCA, actively promulgate information on Hawai'i's conservation values and needs, fund conservation grants, and promote conservation education and awareness. The HCA is a cooperative partnership of 25 member agencies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations that promote effective, long-term management of Hawai'i's native ecosystems through collaborative research, training, and outreach among land managers, scientists, educators, and the general public. The partners of the Alliance have a combined stewardship of more than 80% of Hawaiʻi's native terrestrial ecosystems and 100% of its marine reserves.

Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, founded in 1996, is a group of scientists, outdoor enthusiasts, and ardent conservationists working toward creative, science-based solutions to the threats facing the natural systems and wildlife of the Grand Canyon ecoregion. The mission of Grand Canyon Wildlands is to create and apply a dynamic wildlands network that ensures the existence, health, and sustainability of all native species and natural ecosystems in the Grand Canyon and the lands that surround it. To this end, Grand Canyon Wildlands uses hands-on scientific research to inform the management of the region's wildands, wildlife and waters. For example, we are working to identify important habitats like springs and old growth forests that need protection. In addition to "saving the pieces," we are working to heal the region's ecological wounds by restoring native vegetation and returning species that have been extripated like the wolf and the river otter.

Most of our work takes place on school grounds, as a community-based partner with the schools. We support students in public schools by creating, maintaining and teaching in gardens developed on school property and to which students have daily or weekly access. In summer, the community is invited into the garden for a variety of programs suited to all ages, including youth green job training. The school gardens are a variety of settings such as native/naturalized plantings, meadow ecosystems, native tree species, and small-scale agriculture including production of kid-friendly small fruits and vegetables, aerobic/thermal composting and worm bins. When the weather gets cold, we bring the garden inside through classroom workshops on topics related to food and the environment. We also run after-school programs in local parks, and workshops for community agencies, all with around food and gardening themes.
