Atlanta-based Southern Company is the premier energy company in the Southeast, serving nearly 4.4 million customers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. One of the largest U.S. producers of electricity, Southern Company also is a leader in environmental stewardship and conservation. |
To improve habitat and biodiversity in its service area, Southern Company has contributed $10.5 million to fund three grant programs over a 10-year period in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation --a founding member of the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership. The Longleaf Legacy program supports restoration of the longleaf pine ecosystem, the South's most distinctive and imperiled forest and home to many endangered species. The Power of Flight program protects birds and their habitats, such as bobwhite quail, red-cockaded woodpecker, terns, plovers, swallow-tailed kites and now Whooping cranes. Operation Migration is a proud recipient of the 2008 Power of Flight grant program. Southern Company also is the lead corporate sponsor for the Southeast region of the national Five Star Restoration program, a small grants program funding community-based wetland, riparian and coastal restoration efforts. Additional Five Star program partners include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Association of Counties and Wildlife Habitat Council.

The Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) was established in 1995 as a global awards program for the study and protection of the world's wildlife and ecosystems. It provides annual awards to US nonprofit conservation organizations working alongside their peers in other countries. Many of the recipient organizations concentrate their activities on "biological hotspots" -- areas rich in plant and animal life at risk of imminent destruction. Since its inception, the fund has contributed more than $10 million, distributed among 540 projects in more than 68 countries. Each project is evaluated on specific criteria, including scientific methodologies, magnitude of need, involvement of partner organizations, ability to impact an area in the near-term, and elements of public education and community involvement. Through awards from its Fund, Disney helps ensure the survival of wildlife and wild places in all their beauty and diversity. |
| Operation Migration is a grateful recipient of funding through the DWCF; a total of over $100,000 since the Whooping crane project’s inception. |
