The FairWays Foundation, established by Aquatrols in 2019, has completed its 2024 grant cycle, distributing $119,040 to 11 environmental projects around the globe. With Aquatrols’ support, the foundation has now donated $1,122,819 in total, funding 59 conservation initiatives across the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and Africa since inception.
As a standalone 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The FairWays Foundation works to advance conservation and environmental stewardship. By providing grants to both small- and large-scale projects, the foundation is working to address critical environmental challenges and support educational initiatives worldwide.
The 2024 grant cycle included a diverse range of projects, from the GreenerGolf Network conference to the AquaArborAware project, which focuses on river and forest conservation education in the Anumle community. Other notable projects included eco-pond restoration, heathland regeneration, and various on-course ecology and sustainability initiatives.
“The FairWays Foundation is extremely proud of this year’s grant recipients,” said Greg Lovell, president of The FairWays Foundation and Central East territory manager for The Aquatrols Company. “They represent three continents with an increased focus on public outreach and education. Our total give is now over $800,000 since 2019. We can’t wait to see the finished projects and observe the positive impacts they are having within their communities.”
Looking Ahead to 2025
The FairWays Foundation’s 2025 grant cycle begins in February. The foundation is actively seeking ambassadors to connect with individuals and organizations passionate about conservation but lacking the resources to bring their ideas to life. Those interested in applying for funding or becoming an ambassador can learn more on the foundation's website.
