CFVI Grantee Spotlight: The Nature Conservancy
This week our Spotlight Corner is highlighting Grantee- The Nature Conservancy
We are proud to have supported the USVI Coral Reef Mapping Project with a grant to The Nature Conservancy from the Fund for the Virgin Islands. This grant funding was used to create high-resolution mapping of the USVI's coral reefs and coastal habitats and provide pre- and post-storm mapping and analysis of coastal habitats within the paths of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. These maps and related data will be the first up-to-date, highly accurate resource for Caribbean nations and will be used for a variety of applications including resource management, marine spatial planning, and as a baseline to detect change over time. Ultimately, the goal is to share the information with local stakeholders so thoughtful and cost-effective solutions to protect the shorelines and communities from storm impacts and build resiliency can be enacted.

Testimonials
“CFVI literally saved us after the storm. We didn’t know what we were going to do. Without the support of the Community Foundation, the VI Children’s Museum would have no longer been able to provide enriching experiences for children and families.”
“Without the assistance of CFVI, the St. Thomas Swimming Association would have been forced to close and it is doubtful that it would be in operation today.”
“Thank you Community Foundation. With your support, I am able to pursue my dreams of higher education.”
“None of this would have been possible without the vision and commitment of the Community Foundation who is committed to the development of the WHOLE child which is at the core of the Iggi message.”
On July 5, CFVI joined Community Partners at the Frederiksted Health Care Center in St. Croix where we welcomed its first Little Free Library
Through our partnerships with Crucian Heritage and Nature Tourism (CHANT) and the United States Virgin Islands Department of Tourism, the installation of the first Little Free Library (LFL) on St. Croix, was placed in front of the Frederiksted Health Care Center on Strand Street.
