Enabling transformative experiences

Inspiring respect and care for the natural environment

About Us

The SpringRiver Private Foundation Trust was created in 2014 to “enable transformative experiences”. Our grants have supported this mission in various ways over the years, but our focus remains on educating people about the natural world and environmental concerns. We primarily support organizations based in the New England area.
