What Virginia Environmental Endowment does
Mission
The endowment's mission is to improve the quality of the environment by using its capital, expertise, and resources to fund projects and programs that encourage all sectors to work together to prevent pollution, improve water quality, restore the chesapeake bay, conserve natural resources, promote environmental literacy and public awareness, and address emerging issues. Although accorded a national scope by its charter, the endowment currently limits awards to eligible organizations and projects conducted primarily in the state of virginia.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Program
The endowment made grants to organizations and projects in three grant programs: the virginia program, the james river water quality improvement program (jrwqip) which focuses on producing significant on-the-ground water quality benefits, and the community conservation program. Community conservation program is funded by $3 million that vee received as part of the agreement the commonwealth of virginia made with the company constructing the mountain valley pipeline to offset impacts from the clearing of the pipeline path in southwest virgnia.virginia program grants were made for projects throughout the commonwealth that aligned with the endowment's strategic priorities. The purposes of the virginia program grants included advancing land conservation, protecting water quality, advancing environmental literacy, protecting the chesapeake bay and supporting coastal resilience and adaptation.the jrwqip grants were made for projects that will likely reduce the amount of nutrient and sediment pollution flowing into the james river by more than four million pounds annually.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $19M to $39M (+107%).
