About National Geographic Society
For more than 116 years the National Geographic Society has supported and chronicled the achievements of some of the world's most accomplished explorers. In 1996 the Society organized its grantmaking, scientific, and educational programs under one banner, Mission Programs.
Mission Programs undertakes expeditions and scientific investigations; encourages – more... geography education for young people; promotes natural, historical, and cultural conservation; and inspires the public through vibrant exhibits and live events.
One of the Society's differentiating traits is its ability not only to mount these programs but also to share their results with a global audience through National Geographic media. This translates into a remarkable capacity to effect positive change for the world by simply providing objective, accessible information.
Each year Mission Programs receives generous philanthropic support. Increased giving from individuals and organizations is allowing us to expand our efforts.
On this Web site you can learn more about all of Mission Programs' major activities: research and exploration, conservation, education, cultures, and public programs. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
