Our Principles

Visible Impact

We support projects where our grants produce measurable results. We look for organizations that can clearly demonstrate how funding protects wildlife, restores habitats, or improves animal welfare.

Full Transparency

We believe donors and grant recipients should share a commitment to openness, accountability, and responsible stewardship.

Low Dependency

Our grants are designed to strengthen organizations — not create dependence. We look for projects that can continue creating impact beyond our initial support.

Collaborative Partnerships

The greatest conservation successes occur when organizations, scientists, governments, and communities work together. We seek partners who embrace collaboration.

Focus on Education

Protecting wildlife begins with understanding it. We value programs that inspire people to appreciate and protect the natural world.

Species Agnostic

Whether protecting whales, wolves, sharks, birds of prey, or lesser-known endangered species, we support projects based on conservation value rather than popularity.

WHY WE EXIST

After decades of travel and firsthand encounters with wildlife across six continents, Fred and Darla established the Brodsky Charitable Foundation to help ensure these remarkable animals remain part of our world for future generations.
