Grants from Laurance S. Rockefeller, American Airlines, and Eastern Airlines helped to launch Island Resources Foundation in the early 1970s.  Thereafter, most of the Foundation’s revenues were derived from a combination of grants and contracts to support approximately 250 discrete projects and longer-term programs, augmented with unrestricted, private-sector support in the form of a modest membership base and other contributions.

Key donors and other sources of support over the Foundation’s 44-year tenure are provided below.
