"The Woodnote Foundation® provides financial support for creative projects designed to stabilize the natural world and promote goodness among people."
We specialize in small, flash gifts to help creative projects that light up the natural world or inspire excitement in communal projects, or both. If your idea restores nature's brilliance, or sparks communication and productivity in people dedicated to the common good, seek our support.

"Our goal is to provision people balancing social cooperation and individual expression to better our common world."
Shorelines define the elements. They are not barriers, but rather illustrations of how nature shifts and redefines itself in cooperation between land and sea. Does your project demonstrate a cooperative social effort to better the world, while also allowing for individual expression? That sounds good to us.
Near & Far
"Funding good deeds for golden days."®
We support projects dedicated to the wellbeing of people and places in the straightaway as well as multiply pathways into the future. If your project benefits your community now and promises to enrich the future, we'd love to hear about it.

Woodnote
Woodnote: The song or call of a woodland bird.
Remember us, listening for songs through the trees. We know you are out there, calling to others to help you put your project to work for the benefit of the world around you. Perhaps we can be one of your "others." Make yourself known. We have the binoculars out. --The Woodnote Foundation® Board.
