Help build the foundation for what's next.

We are seeking early supporters who share our vision and want to help shape a focused, credible beginning for WRI.

WHY EARLY SUPPORT MATTERS

Before the first project, there is essential groundwork.

Founding support would help WRI build the capacity to turn its mission into a practical program of work.

We welcome conversations with individuals, family foundations, philanthropic organizations, and businesses interested in helping the Institute develop.

We would discuss the proposed use of support, appropriate next steps, and how we intend to report on progress before any commitment.

Discuss funding support

WHAT SUPPORT COULD MAKE POSSIBLE

The work of getting started.

Establish the Institute

Develop initial organizational capacity, governance arrangements, and the professional support needed to operate responsibly.

Prepare the first programs

Assess community needs, explore feasibility, and develop clear proposals and budgets for prospective initiatives.

Build a network of expertise

Engage potential research, technical, and community partners around carefully defined priorities.

WAYS TO HELP

More than one way to make a beginning.

Philanthropic support

Technical advice, research collaboration, professional services, and organizational experience could help strengthen WRI’s early development.

Expertise and in-kind help

We welcome discussions about initial funding, program-development support, and alignment with a donor’s areas of interest. Specific arrangements would be agreed directly.
