Explorers Foundation investments recognize and advance the work of individuals who through their vision and action contribute to a world fit for explorers. Our investments have ranged from $5,000 to $250. During 2007 we expect to make another forty investments. The pattern of our investments may encourage this conculsion: We can build and sustain a world fit for explorers and fit ourselves to inhabit such a world. If you share our belief that the character of the adventurer whose quests are governed by strong integrity is the heart of all possible civilizations please contact us about becoming a fellow investor.
