Arca Foundation was formed in 1952 as the Nancy Reynolds Bagley Foundation, which later became the Arca Foundation, by Nancy Susan Reynolds.
"Since 1952, the Arca Foundation has made grants totaling more than $50 million dollars to over 1,700 organizations. The foundation’s grantmaking has grown from $100,000 in 1952 to over $3 million in 2006. From population policy to toxic waste disposal, Central American conflicts to campaign finance reform, the Arca Foundation has carefully chosen areas of concentration in which to invest its resources, remaining committed to specific principles."[1] It is a funder of the Proteus Fund's Piper Fund.
