We are a proud to be a partner in ReWild’s Conservation Guardians program and to have ReWild as our fiscal sponsor. Donations to WiNN are processed through Re:Wild and allocated directly to our work.
The Alice C. Tyler Perpetual Trust has
also been an especially important benefactor since our founding a decade ago. Read more about

The Alice C. Tyler Perpetual Trust
Established by Alice Tyler and her husband, John C. Tyler, the Alice C Tyler Perpetual Trust focuses their philanthropy on education and environmental conservation. Alice and John shared a common passion to protect the environment, and the Trust’s generous philanthropy since 1993 has supported countless efforts to protect the planet through environmental programs and support for girls and young women interested in pursuing careers in STEM. Astronaut Dr. Sally Ride was one of the Trust’s original trustees and, in 2016, the Trust created an endowed scholarship at UC San Diego to honor of Sally’s passion for encouraging young women to pursue careers in science.
Alice was a major benefactor of Childhelp USA, UCLA, Pepperdine University, and the University of Southern California and, in 1973, co-founded the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement to honor scientists whose work identifies them as “guardians of the future.” The award was one of the first international premier awards of its kind and recognizes efforts to improve our global environment. Recipients include individuals and organizations researching healthier energy sources and working to create solutions to pollution, ecosystem disruption, and biodiversity loss. The 2024 recipient of the Tyler Environmental Prize was Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact and one of the most cited researchers in the world. Rockström’s Planetary Boundaries framework identifies the changes that can be safely made within the nine primary natural systems that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth without severely altering life on the planet as we know it.
We are incredibly honored to have our work honored and supported alongside such vital organizations.
