Program areas at Arcus Foundation
Education and awareness:the generation of online and offline "storytelling" assets in multiple medias to amplify the impact of grantee work among audiences in the u.s. and globally in order to raise awareness, motivate other donors and advocates, and drive positive change in lgbtq rights and great ape conservation.
Thought leadership:with the involvement of experts and stakeholders, a series of meetings and consultations were convened to develop and raise awareness about methods to increase knowledge/understanding, change attitudes, build skills/capacity, and strengthen policy. This activity aims to change behavior and thinking with respect to the challenges facing lgbtq people globally, as well as to improve conservation and respect for apes in the wild and in captivity. As part of the Foundation's thought leadership activities, it published the book series state of the apes, designed to drive thought leadership for the conservation of apes.
