Description
The Barbara Delano Foundation (BDF) is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) foundation devoted to the protection of wildlife and its habitats in developing countries.
In 1985 Barbara Delano Gauntlett, granddaughter of Dr. William E. Upjohn, founder of the Upjohn Company, created The Barbara Delano Foundation as an expression of her lifelong commitment to conservation and the survival of local people and communities. Her daughter, Suwanna Gauntlett, now presides over The Barbara Delano Foundation.
Initially concentrating on environmental safeguards in international development programs, energy efficiency in Eastern Europe and building environmental standards, BDF has more recently changed its focus to wildlife habitat and species protection. BDF has current assets of approximately US$30 million and annually distributes over US$2 million in grants ranging from US$1,000 to US$80,000.
