Save the Earth Foundation

Save the Earth Foundation grew out of a "Save the Earth" environmental message developed in the early 1970s. According to its own account, funds to establish the environmental research foundation became available in 1988, and its first environmental grant in 1989 co-sponsored a series of three workshops on global climate change at the University of California at Davis. Since 1989 the foundation has granted research funding to numerous colleges and universities. Its activities include environmental education, such as environmental videos about the oceans, and support for projects such as a hydration system funded together with NOAA's Ocean Guardian Program.

The foundation traces its origins to the early 1970s, when its founder began to focus on motivating people to help stop environmental destruction, with a vision centered on Save the Earth, described as "a message to help create a higher level of environmental consciousness among people." In 1986 a colorful rainbow was added to the Save the Earth message. In 1988, after 16 years of working with "earth" art and the message of "Save The Earth," funds to establish the environmental research foundation became available. The foundation's first environmental grant in 1989 co-sponsored a series of three workshops on global climate change at the University of California at Davis, and since 1989 it has granted research funding to numerous colleges and universities. Its archives reference materials including a 1989 letter from Al Gore, a letter from Bill Clinton, a grant to UCLA, a letter from Sam Walton, and a 1989 LA Times item.
