When Doug and Kris Tompkins began their conservation work in the early 1990s, their goal was that the projects that they started in Argentina and Chile would continue beyond their lifetimes and that of their foundation.

The teams in Argentina and Chile with whom Tompkins Conservation has worked for decades are now independent organizations: Rewilding Argentina and Rewilding Chile. They continue to carry out the initiatives that we began together, and have also expanded their objectives with new projects to protect land and sea, rewild extirpated species, and promote local regenerative economies. Tompkins Conservation continues to be a strategic collaborator of both organizations.

Yet we cannot fund this critical work on our own. Your contribution is essential to the future of conservation in Chile and Argentina. If you would like to support their work via a US-based 501(c)(3) public charity, you can make a gift (below) through their new fiscal sponsor organization: Re:wild.

CONTINUING THE TOMPKINS LEGACY OF PHILANTHROPY

To facilitate planned giving and legacy gifts in support of enduring conservation efforts, Douglas and Kristine Tompkins and Tompkins Conservation have set up two donor-advised funds—the Tompkins Conservation Fund and the the Tompkins Conservation Fund and the Douglas R. Tompkins Wild Legacy Fund—at the Marin Community Foundation (MCF), a grantmaking public charity that has operated for more than three decades and partners with more than 500 individuals and families in their giving efforts.
