The Foundation supports projects both domestically and internationally (with a particular international focus in Latin America and South Africa). Generally speaking, the Foundation's domestic programs support policy development, advocacy, coalition building, research, legal and other strategies likely to impact large classes of people or shape issues important to the Foundation's mission. In its international funding, the Foundation also supports organizations providing direct services.

The Overbrook Foundation strives to improve the lives of people by supporting projects that protect human and civil rights, advance the self sufficiency and well being of individuals and their communities and conserve the natural environment.

In pursuit of its mission, the Foundation advances programs in the Environment and Human Rights:

  The Foundation's Environment Program supports organizations working to develop better consumption and production habits in the United States and in Latin America (currently Brazil, Mexico and Ecuador only). In Latin America the primary objective is to conserve the planet's dwindling biodiversity.
