The Nurture Nature Foundation (NNF) has operated to achieve its mission in a variety of ways. One of the principal ways in which it has done so is by helping to create and maintain a number of other related entities, for which it provided crucial guidance, support, and funding. These are independent organizations with their own decision making structure. NNF helps support these organizations, in the belief that they can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.

The other entities include most prominently Nurture New York's Nature Foundation (NNYN), Earth Pledge, the Kheel Center on Environmental Solutions, and the Nurture Nature Center. The Nurture Nature Foundation seeks matching grants to further its goals of nurturing nature and promoting these organizations' work.

Nurture Nature has also worked with and provided support to a number of other organizations whose missions are related to sustainable development issues, such as Center for Environmental Research and Conservation (CERC), Nature-Network, and the E.O. Wilson Foundation.

NNF's founder, Ted Kheel, has also been instrumental in establishing a number of other related nonprofits, including the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation, which seeks to promote sustainable tourism in a region in the Dominican Republic that Kheel helped develop, and the Foundation for the Early Prevention and Resolution of Conflict, which provides web based resources on conflict resolution.
