ERGF: Join us in Sustainable, Environmental Philanthropy

A gift of mineral rights is sustainable, environmental philanthropy. While other non-profits accept mineral rights, they use the income to fund their other programs. ERGF believes a non-profit has a greater responsibility - to conserve and be a steward. 

ERGF believes that mineral and royalty interests should be viewed as more than just a means to generate funding. Instead, these assets hold environmental value, and their management should align with principles of sustainable, environmental philanthropy. By donating your mineral rights to ERGF, you are directly contributing to a mission that seeks to protect land, water, and ecosystems. The organization ensures that donated mineral interests are handled in a way that minimizes environmental harm, supports land conservation efforts, and promotes responsible resource stewardship.

Unlike other organizations that may lease or sell mineral rights for profit, ERGF is committed to ensuring that these donations serve a greater environmental purpose. This could involve an Environment-First focus in negotiations, preserving land for wildlife and habitat restoration, or advocating for technologies that limit the environmental degradation associated with resource development. Your donation helps safeguard natural resources for future generations, reinforcing the idea that philanthropy can extend beyond financial giving to include responsible land and resource management.

By choosing to donate your mineral and royalty interests to ERGF, you become part of a movement that values sustainable environmental philanthropy over short-term financial gains. Your contribution will support a vision of conservation-first philanthropy, ensuring that natural resources are preserved and managed with sustainability in mind.
