Clif Bar Family Foundation supports innovative small and midsized groups working to strengthen our food system and our communities, enhance public health, and safeguard our environment and natural resources. In 2013, the foundation awarded more than $3.7 million to more than 380 pioneering organizations.
Money won’t do much good if people and purpose get left behind. White Road Investments is an alternative investment firm that funds mission-driven, healthy lifestyle companies. Currently we have investments in 12 companies—including Wild Planet Foods, Guayaki Yerba Mate, Public Bikes, Herb Pharm, The Honest Kitchen—and we continue to search for new partners.
Clif Bar Family Foundation’s Seed Matters provides CPR for seeds: Conserve crop genetic diversity Promote farmers’ roles and rights as seed stewards Reinvigorate public seed research and education In 2013, we awarded four new fellowships for organic plant breeding: Claire Luby (carrots and beets), Ryan Gregory (cotton), Zachary Jones (corn), and Louisa Winkler (oats and wheat). We now support eight fellows in New York, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas, Oregon, and Washington.
At Clif Family Winery, our goal is to craft unique regional wines and food using practices that care for the earth and conserve biodiversity. In 2013, we introduced our first estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon made with grapes from our certified organic Cold Springs Vineyard.
