EFC investigated private philanthropic program related investment (PRI) as a financing option for projects that promote water quality improvement initiatives within the Chesapeake Bay, such as manure‐to‐energy. The investigation occurred through a series of interviews with various philanthropic organizations to better quantify the opportunities associated with PRI funding. A list of interview questions was developed to provide essential information for establishing this portfolio option for Chesapeake Bay funding organizations along with a strategy to engage these groups. Foundations chosen for interview included entities located both within the Chesapeake Bay Region and those operating on an international scale.
