The Foundation has a prestigious team of officers, directors, and directors emeriti, leading the way into a future full of opportunities to fulfill Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's vision of a balance between technological advancement and environmental preservation.
The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation, formerly The Charles A. Lindbergh Fund, was created in 1977, the 50th anniversary year of Charles Lindbergh's epic New York-to-Paris flight. It was originated by friends of the Lindberghs at The Explorers Club in New York City, with the resulting national effort which established the non-profit organization led by General James H. Doolittle and Astronaut Neil Armstrong.
Since its formation, the mission of the Foundation has been to further the Lindbergh's vision of balance. The changing of the organization's name, which took place in 1994, honors Anne Morrow Lindbergh and recognizes that she and her husband shared the vision of this balance in the devoted partnership they formed in pioneering aviation, exploration, conservation, writing and philosophy.
The Foundation seeks to support present and future generations in working toward such a balance, that we may "...discern nature's essential wisdom and combine it with our scientific knowledge..." (Charles A. Lindbergh) and "balance power over life with reverence for life" (Anne Morrow Lindbergh).
