Ray C. Anderson Foundation

An environmental and conservation nonprofit foundation. It advances sustainability through initiatives that connect transportation infrastructure, land management, and ecological restoration. The Ray provides specialized geospatial analysis and corridor mapping for transportation projects, including work with the U.S. Department of Transportation and Montana Department of Transportation. Its projects also include transforming energy transmission corridors into native wildflower meadows and establishing pollinator zones with corporate partners. The foundation supports work on climate data and sustainable business, and its Ray of Hope Accelerator is among its programs. It also publishes reports and tools related to environmental issues, including the State of the Ray annual report and Climate Outlook Maps. The organization was inspired by Ray C. Anderson, an industrial sustainability advocate whose work connected environmental responsibility with business.
