About the Organization

New Earth Foundation was founded by John Bigelow Loveland and was incorporated on April 9, 1997. The following month, NEF was funded through the donation from the founder, using three quarters of his inheritance, with the remainder securing the education of his three children. To guide NEF in the ways he envisioned, John created NEF as a private foundation as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, and became its first President, a position he still held in 2016.

Since its beginnings, New Earth Foundation has given grants to numerous non-profit organizations involved in leading-edge projects concerning education, communication, clean water and energy sources, spirit-uplifting arts, the preservation of endangered forests and plant species, self-help methods to curb hunger, and in many other fields, helping people around the globe and the earth herself augmenting peace. The Board of New Earth Foundation is working in innovative ways to increase the granting fund for greater giving to the world in need.

About the Grant

New Earth Foundation seeks to fund innovative projects that enhance life on our planet and brighten the future, furthering peace. Smaller, newer 501(c)(3) organizations are the focus of grants given, so that the foundation’s gift can make a more significant contribution to the work of the recipient organization.

The grants given by NEF support a wide variety of projects in many fields of endeavor, including but not limited to environmental initiatives that are working to help eliminate pollution and to save the planet’s ecosystems, community efforts that create models of social sustainability, educational innovations that prepare youth to become the socially responsible leaders of the future, and strategies that offer economic improvement and opportunities.

NEF particularly appreciates projects that are replicable so that excellent ideas and work can multiply and benefit many.
