The Dunn Foundation invites expressions of interest from organizations who may be eligible for support through our K-12 visual environmental education grants program. This is currently the highest priority funding category.
Funding is available nationally.
Background Our first impression of a city neighborhood, rural town or pristine wilderness is generally visual. What we are seeing is the visual environment. Natural and artificial components that reflect design, architecture, art and natural processes combine to create a mosaic of a multitude of images we rarely think about, yet experience constantly. Change due to the seasons or vegetation growth and human intervention such as development or agriculture is a constant feature of this environment. In essence, the visual environment is an integral thread in the fabric of our communities.
