The world is changing at a rate and scale unprecedented in human history. How can we meet humanity’s needs in just and innovative ways while protecting the environment on which life depends? 

Your support of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies helps us meet these challenges head on, through imaginative research that transcends disciplinary boundaries; hands-on educational initiatives that bridge classrooms and communities; and public programs that foster environmental conversations among people from business, government, academia, and advocacy. 

How do your contributions help?

By making a gift, you can safeguard the future of our planet by helping us recruit and empower the next generation of environmental leaders. From funding conservation internships to increasing program capacity to boosting our recruitment reach, your support gives students the tools, experiences, and opportunities they need to make a lasting impact on our world. 

Gifts will be contributed to the Environmental Futures Fund – 132900188 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
