 Self-description:
The
Foundation for Deep Ecology is a private foundation whose mission is
to support education and advocacy on behalf of wild Nature through
its publications and public programs.
Over the years, however, our focus has shifted to our
in-house publishing program, and we no longer accept unsolicited
grant proposals at this time.
 Background:
Established by
Douglas Tompkins
with his share of the Esprit clothing
fortune.
Intensely anti-capitalist and anti-corporate grantmaker who made his
fortune as a hypercapitalist, making clothes in California and Third
World sweatshops.
Primary funder of
International Forum
on Globalization and many of its its constituent groups.
FDE's portfolio has held stocks or bonds of
Allstate, which insures fossil-fuel-using cars; Citicorp, and three foreign banks,
which fund the globalization Tompkins tries to
stop; Fannie Mae,
funder of
bubble-bursting subprime mortgages; Grupo Televisa,
the Mexican TV network, ironic since
program director Jerry Mander
wrote a book against TV; HCA-Hospital
Corp. of America; Telefonos de Mexico, a
NAFTA bonus-baby; and Wal-Mart,
not-so-local presence across America.
 Kristine
Tompkins, wife of Doug Tompkins, is a director of the foundation.
