The Charitable Marriage Between Humans and the Natural World

The Colcom Foundation is a philanthropic group for environmental action. It is concerned that in the near future, the planet will no longer be able to sustain human life. Specifically, it has been concerned that the human population has grown too large to maintain the balance between humans and nature that it believes is necessary for humanity to thrive.

The Colcom Foundation has held this position since its founding by Cordelia S. May, and it points to the headlines to show that the environmental impact of human overpopulation is the problem today that May anticipated when founding the organization in 1996. It carries on May’s legacy in keeping an eye on issues of relations between natural environments and their nearby human populations.

Consequently, the Colcom Foundation seeks out projects that aim to work with the environment’s carrying capacity for humankind and to support both local environments and local communities. These are the projects it recognizes as being the most important for its philanthropic efforts, and these are the projects it funds.

Colcom Foundation is among the primary sources of funding directed towards the United States anti-immigration movement. That funding helps organizations like the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the American Border Patrol, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), and Numbers USA.

Key issues that are funded include family planning, immigration, pollution control, conservation, health care, and disaster relief. Naturally, the Colcom Foundation also supports a variety of educational and legal efforts related to such issues: It sponsors the arts as they relate to raising awareness, donates to non-profit law firms that specialize in serving clients who have been harmed by bad environmental policies, and gives financial resources to many other related interests. The group has been known to get involved in the more humanitarian side of things as well. They have paid for many medical needs, such as service animals, over the years in addition to creating opportunities for internships, feeding those most in need of food, and contributing to disaster relief efforts through the Red Cross.
