Our History
4CCF was born from a simple yet powerful belief: hands-on learning is the key to fostering a sense of wonder, curiosity, responsibility, and deep connection to the natural world.
The seeds of 4CCF were sown in the rich soil of environmental education and community engagement. Inspired by the power of hands-on learning and the urgent need for sustainable practices, a group of passionate individuals came together to create a legacy of environmental stewardship.
Our journey began in 1991 with our pioneering non-profit, Recycling for Rhode Island Education (RRIE), an organization established to promote environmental education and waste reduction. The organization was dedicated to inspiring environmental stewardship through active engagement. Recycling became more than just a chore; it became a catalyst for creativity, problem-solving, and community building. Over the years, RRIE expanded its reach and impact, inspiring countless learners of all ages to take action. This has ultimately lead to the formation of 4 Conservation Charitable Foundation, Inc.® in 2024.
RRIE evolved into the 4 Conservation Charitable Foundation, broadening its mission to include Connecticut and the broader New England region. This expansion allowed us to connect with diverse communities and foster a deeper understanding of environmental issues.
As our mission expanded, so did our vision. We sought to create a foundation that would empower individuals to take action and make a positive impact on the world. The 4 Conservation Charitable Foundation was established to carry on this legacy, extending its reach to Connecticut and collaborating with Indigenous communities in the New England region.
We recognized the transformative power of experiential learning. By encouraging students and families to experiment, explore, and discover, we ignited a spark of curiosity and a sense of responsibility for the planet. Recycling, a seemingly simple act, became a gateway to understanding the complex interconnectedness of our environment.
