Walt Disney World Resort has just announced a $500,000 donation to five local conservation organizations as they continue to give back to Central Florida. The gift will go a long way in helping make a happier, healthier planet for all.
Donation recipients include:
- Conservation Florida
- Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation
- The Nature Conservancy
- Trout Lake Nature Center
- Wekiva Wilderness Trust
Dr. Mark Penning, Vice President of Disney’s Animals, Science, and Environment states: “For nearly a century, we as a company have taken action to protect the people, places, and wildlife around us. I could not be more excited about the positive impact these Disney Grants will have on Central Florida and all who call it home.”
Since the start of the 50th Anniversary celebration, Disney has given more than $6 million to nonprofit organizations across Florida. The company remains committed to reducing the environmental footprint, caring for wildlife and their habitats, and supporting programs that make a world of difference in the community. Since 1995, Disney has directed more than $120 million and the expertise of dedicated teams to wildlife conservation efforts such as these, resulting in meaningful and measurable impacts.
Glad that Disney gives so generously to conservation efforts?
