The Everglades Foundation is a nonprofit based in Miami, Florida, founded in 1993 to restore and safeguard the greater Everglades ecosystem. As a 501(c)(3) organization, its funds support scientific research, education about the Everglades, and grants to conservation partners, and it also backs legal actions to defend the area. The foundation combines science with advocacy to influence policy decisions, focusing on research, collaboration with other organizations, and raising environmental awareness. It operates within the nonprofit conservation sector, aligning its efforts with the ecological and economic interests tied to the Everglades. Its science department conducts and sponsors research and analysis, with policies and positions grounded in factual findings. In 2025, the foundation partnered with the South Florida Water Management District to support the Blue Shanty Flow-way Project, a CEPP-South component that aims to reconnect clean freshwater flows through the Everglades.
