Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation

"Established in September 2000, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for future generations.

"The Foundation’s science-based, results-driven orientation stems from the principles and interests of Gordon and Betty Moore. The Foundation operates proactively in three specific areas of focus—environmental conservation, science, and the San Francisco Bay Area—where a significant and measurable impact can be achieved. Distinct Initiatives have been created within these three Program areas. An Initiative employs a portfolio of grants that are expected to help achieve targeted, large-scale outcomes in a specific time frame." [1]

"The Foundation made a $261 million commitment in December 2001 and awarded an additional $17 million in 2005 to Conservation International to significantly scale up its efforts in slowing the rate of species extinctions across the world and to develop marine conservation science." [2] also see
