Abstract / Summary: Established by real estate broker Charles Noyes in honor of his second wife, the Noyes Foundation evolved from a family foundation supporting scholarships for minority students into one of the leading and most innovative funders in the fields of environmental activism and reproductive rights. Its works in sustainable agriculture, water policy, and tropical ecology mark it as a highly focused and cutting-edge funder. Interviews were conducted by Ronald J. Grele with members of the staff and board of the Foundation. These interviews provide a history of the evolution of the program of the Foundation as well as insight into the history of family philanthropy and the larger philanthropic community.
