The Pegasus Foundation is an activist grant maker. Like the winged horse of Greek mythology, we seek to “give wings” to inspiring ideas put into action. We identify, vet and fund nonprofit organizations who have shown demonstrable impact in these priority areas: Marine animal rescue, wildlife and habitat protection, and animal welfare.

We place a high value on collaborative projects, partner with those we fund over multiple years, and foster networking and communication among our grantees and others. The Pegasus Foundation also regularly initiates and implements its own projects and advocates for policy changes that advance its priority areas of interest. So that our dollars have the greatest strategic impact, we do not accept unsolicited requests.
