In line with its vision statement, our foundation seeks to foster environmental restoration, preservation and education. FSI takes particular interest in proposals for seed projects that establish demonstration projects, which link rural and urban settings. Projects could orient toward use of resources in sustainable ways, preservation of wildlife habitats, conservation of wilderness, integration of food production, technology, economics, and community development in harmonious ways with the natural world. Also, another area of interest is support for small alternative presses and periodicals that show creativity and new ideas, and focus on issues and problems.
