Partnerships

To achieve its mandate, the United Nations Environment Programme needs the support of partners from all sectors of society, including, governments, nongovernmental organizations, media, youth groups, the private sector, civil society, and the scientific community.

UNEP RONA would like to thank its partners for their support in helping us meet our goals.

The Baum Foundation

The mission of the Baum Foundation is to improve the quality of people’s lives by supporting programs in the arts, education and the environment. The Baum Foundation contributes its time and resources to nurture artistic talent, to provide youth with educational opportunities, and to support the conservation and preservation of the planet’s biodiversity. Embodied in this commitment is the belief that people can imagine, learn and act through the arts, education and the environment to improve the human condition. At the heart of The Baum Foundation mission is the idea that, by supporting creativity in the arts, providing educational opportunities for youth and putting programs in place to preserve the environment, we can collectively enrich the quality of life of contemporary society.

The Meridian Foundation

The Meridian Foundation promotes healing in both the individual and the environment through education, the delivery of preventative and supportive health services and the arts. The Foundation is completely voluntarily supported.  Business costs and materials are donated by for-profit sponsors allowing 100% of incoming funds and contributions to go to the programs we create or support.  The primary focus of Meridian is to enlist, train and mentor volunteers, and although funds are granted in some programs, funding is not the primary purpose, rather, the Foundation provides networking tools as means for voluntary service.
