The James E. Dutton Foundation is seeking applications to provide financial support to organizations working on projects which benefit wildlife, animal causes, environmental preservation, and outdoors education.

They believe it is their responsibility to care for animals and the environment. They work towards protecting the outdoors, so it can provide a healthy home for wildlife and are a place where humans can learn, experience nature, and enrich their lives.

The primary goal of the Foundation will be to fulfill the charitable intent of Jim Dutton and make direct grants to support those organizations and programs, or individuals that benefit wildlife and/or animal related causes.  This includes not only direct aid for animal or wildlife causes but support to organizations that may maintain, protect, create, or restore habitat and study the relationship of man and the environment. 

It will also include grants to organizations and/or programs that positively impact the lives of people by supporting individuals interested in enjoying or caring for wildlife, domestic animals, the outdoors, and our natural resources.  The Foundation will also support groups previously supported by Jim as well as other causes the Foundation deems appropriate.
