What type of organizations did Beldon support?
We made grants to public charities that are state-based and national environmental advocacy organizations, often supporting coalitions or collaborative efforts that brought groups together for greater impact. We also supported advocates from outside the traditional environmental community – such as groups representing nurses and breast cancer survivors – that are concerned with health dangers posed by toxic chemicals in consumer products. Finally, we supported organizations that translate and disseminate the latest scientific findings on environmental health hazards for the public, policymakers, and the media.
