Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts, Culture & Humanities, Environment, Environmental Beautification, Food, Food, Agriculture & Nutrition
Mission: The America the Beautiful Fund (ABF) was born of a desire to preserve America's natural heritage by assisting community-level programs and projects to save the natural and man-made environment and improve the quality of life. The America the Beautiful Fund now provides support and direction to volunteer community projects in all 50 states, operating as a clearinghouse of ideas for thousands of community projects and as a catalyst for new ones, drawing on a quarter of a century of experience of knowing what works and what does not work.
Programs: The Rediscover America program has developed and assisted more than 2,000 local projects to preserve and revitalize local heritage, culture and historical sites. The American Landscapes program helps to preserve national treasures of seashores and shining seas, streams, wetlands, unique towns and villages and historic neighborhoods. Operation Green Plant distributes donations of surplus seeds from seed companies to more than 60,000 community action committees, hunger relief projects, community gardens and environmental projects. The program has become an avenue for low-income individuals and communities to provide food for themselves, instill community pride and rehabilitate and beautify otherwise derelict property.
