Who We Are
About Us
-
Earth Foundation is a nonprofit, national media specialist
team. The Pacific Rim is of immediate,
vital interest to us. We are currently focusing on Hawaii
& the Pacific. We are working to preserve
Hawaii’s native culture & natural resources.
Earth Foundation (“EF”) researches the State of
Hawaii’s & Maui’s Agriculture, Energy and Water;
helps protect Maui’s and Hawaii’s beaches &
land; works with the Native Hawaiians on Maui and statewide
and with Hispanics on Oahu; and helps protect the international
public health of Hawaii, U.S. West Coast, and the Pacific from
nuclear waste. In the Hawaii State Legislature, in Honolulu,
EF’s representative has good relationships with top leaders
in the State Senate and the State House of Representatives.
On Maui, we have good relationships with top
elected and appointed officials, the Mayor, and the Planning
Director of Maui County Government and we work closely with
Maui County Government where appropriate.
-
Earth Foundation has close ties with the United Nations, U.N. related organizations, the Hawaii State Legislature, and the University of Hawaii.
-
Earth Foundation's main focus and expertise is to generate
information through the media, EF’s website, and through
flyers and posters, to give people information on facts
and solutions, what to do, who to contact and how to
contact them. Our efforts are geared to pulling in the numbers,
supporting people to show up and be heard.

In August 1997, while Earth Foundation was
preparing its nonprofit incorporation papers for filing and
its initial “Public 501(c)(3) charitable organization”
application to submit to the I.R.S. for consideration, Earth
Foundation proceeded with the building of vitally important
business relationships. EF’s President had successful,
solid meetings during four days in New York with the United
Nations (U.N.) and a day in Washington, D.C. with
the U.N. Global Environment Facility (“GEF”)
to establish substantial working relationships with these organizations.
A retired U.N. Assistant Secretary General and
Executive Deputy Director of UNEP is on the
Board of Directors of Earth Foundation. He was very kind
to line up and make the appointments for EF’s President
to meet with all these people. Earth Foundation is fortunate
that, if needed, our board member could help get us in contact
with whoever is needed in the U.N.
