About [Edit]
The foundation's primary focus is to foster an understanding of the need for sustainable environmental and social policies.
Program areas include:
-- Voter education and participation in the democratic process
-- Education to increase public understanding of the impact of globalization, population, and consumption on ecological health, human rights, and democracy
-- Sustainable agriculture, food security, and nutrition
The Foundation does not give priority to local programs located in the Carmel/Monterey area, unless there is evidence that the local program has the potential for leveraging change and having a wide-spread impact.
Please note that most grants are initiated by the Foundation. Members of the Arkay Foundation Board of Directors are actively involved in seeking out and learning about programs related to the Foundation's priorities. Board members bring their ideas and recommendations to the Foundation for review and discussion by the full Board of Directors.
