Colcom Foundation is rooted in a philanthropic tradition that emphasizes support for causes not necessarily popular in current culture, with a history of backing women’s reproductive freedoms. It continues to champion ecologically sustainable immigration policy, physician aid-in-dying, and individual autonomy at life's end. The Foundation's mission focuses on addressing the impacts of human population growth on the environment, advocating for family planning, and promoting sustainable immigration policies to decrease the ecological footprint.
The Colcom Foundation grant program is designed to support national projects that recognize and address the impact of human population growth on the environment. Specific areas of interest include family planning, with a focus on preventing unplanned and unwanted births globally through entertainment-education and mass media initiatives. Additionally, the Foundation seeks to advance public dialogue on sustainable immigration policy, supporting efforts to reduce current immigration levels in the U.S., with the goal of stabilizing and gradually decreasing the U.S. population by 2040 to diminish its ecological footprint.
