The Wilburforce Foundation is a major funding source for non-governmental organizations (NGO) towards supporting and connecting "organizations and individuals that are committed to protecting wild places and the wildlife that depend on them." It has a funding database where funded groups can be searched, and a map of the areas they cover.
The Sonoran Institute is another funding organization for conservation with multiple partners, especially federal agencies. It also interferes in communities, deciding they know best how communities should be designed and managed. Brainerd is another foundation that pours money into NGOs, including ones that heavily impact Idaho such as the Greater Yellowstone Coalition (GYC), Future West (FW), and the Heart of the Rockies Initiative (HORI). In turn, the money is dribbled down to other smaller groups such as FW money being used to fund projects for the HORI, and now defunct Henry's Fork Legacy Project (HFLP). This video explains how they want to "reshape" the Island Park area. Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) also shares money it recieves from foundations having funded GYC in 2015, 2013, and 2012 and FW in 2015, Clearly the goal is conservation objectives in the High Divide area in the HORI, and restrictive land use practices. Cinnabar is another foundation funding NGOs while the Ted Turner Foundation is funding multiple NGOs, including Y2Y. These are just a few examples of funding amounts these groups receive.
