Foundation For Virginia

The Virginia Environmental Endowment (VEE) is a non-profit organization based in Richmond, VA, dedicated to promoting environmental conservation and protection across the Commonwealth. With a history spanning over 40 years, VEE provides grant programs that support initiatives focused on water quality improvement, community conservation, and the preservation of natural resources in the Kanawha and Ohio River Valleys. Through partnerships with various organizations and individuals, VEE strives to catalyze positive change and contribute to the reduction of nutrient pollution in local waters and the Chesapeake Bay. Recognized for its commitment to environmental stewardship, VEE has been instrumental in funding projects that combat invasive species, defend nontidal wetlands, advance land conservation, and address critical conservation issues facing the James River. By supporting initiatives such as no-cost field trips for students, professional development opportunities for teachers, and environmental educational enrichment programs, VEE aims to engage and educate communities about the importance of preserving Virginia's natural resources. Through its grant awards and collaborative efforts, VEE continues to be a driving force in promoting sustainable practices and protecting the environment for future generations.Generated from the website
