On behalf of Pacific Coast Wildlife Foundation, I am writing to submit our application for the Environmental Conservation Innovation Fund administered by The Morrison Foundation. Founded in 2008, our organization has served the Oregon, Washington, and Northern California coastlines community through Pacific Coast Wildlife Foundation has been protecting coastal ecosystems since 2008. Over 17 years, we have rescued 12,000+ marine animals, restored 180 miles of coastline, and educated 200,000 students.. We are grateful for the opportunity to present our proposal for your consideration.

Phase II will expand habitat restoration to 5 new sites along the Oregon and Washington coasts.

Funding will support: 3 full-time conservation biologists ($95,000), restoration materials and equipment ($45,000), community engagement and education ($25,000), and project monitoring and evaluation ($20,000).

This project will directly protect 3 endangered species, restore 40 acres of habitat, and create 12 seasonal conservation jobs in underserved communities.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss our proposal further. Thank you for your commitment to strengthening our community and for considering Pacific Coast Wildlife Foundation as a partner in this important work.
