Conservation Nation has identified and partnered with four community-based organizations dedicated to conservation. These community partners are connected through collaborations and partnerships with local marine biology/sciences, invertebrate biology, or environmental education college/university programs.

Internship funding will cover the costs of an internship–including salary, supplies, equipment, and living expenses associated with the internship. Students will receive funds through the awarded conservation community partner to support paid career development.

About The Chrysalis Fund

In 2022, Ted Lukacs left a generous legacy gift to Conservation Nation. An avid nature lover, Mr. Lukacs was especially fond of invertebrates, estuaries, and marine habitats. Mr. Lukacs also fervently supported education and volunteered with youth literacy organizations. 

Thanks to his generous gift, Conservation Nation established The Conservation Nation Chrysalis Fund.
