FTM: The Energy Foundation, Part 2

In "Follow the Money" part 2, we present two more gems from The Energy Foundation's searchable grants database:

"Rockefeller Family Fund (New York, NY) $40,000, Grant Period: Oct, 2007 – Jun, 2008, To support the Izaak Walton League of America's work to promote carbon controls in Minnesota."

Why would a foundation in San Francisco give money to a foundation in New York to support work being done by a non-profit in Minnesota?  I am not familiar with the ways of the non-profit sector, but what purpose does this money laundering serve?

"Prairie Stewardship Network (Ashley, ND) $52,000, Grant Period: Aug, 2009 – Nov, 2010, To educate North Dakota policymakers on the moral dimensions of climate change and the availability of low-carbon energy solutions."

Moral dimensions?  I understood the debate surrounding climate change to be strictly about "the science".  When did "moral dimensions" enter the debate?
