The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation

Each year, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation presents Lindbergh Grants for research and educational projects, which will improve the quality of life through a balance between technology and nature. Awarded in amounts up to $10,580 each (a symbolic figure representing the cost of the "Spirit of St. Louis" in 1927), the Grants are made in numerous areas of special interest to the Lindberghs, including agriculture; aviation/aerospace; conservation of natural resources - including animals, plants, water, and general conservation (land, air, energy, etc.); education - including humanities/education, the arts, and intercultural communication; exploration; health - including biomedical research, health and population sciences, and adaptive technology; and waste minimization and management. A Jonathan Lindbergh Brown Grant may be given to a project to support adaptive technology or biomedical research, which seeks to redress imbalance between an individual and his or her human environment.

Each year since 1978, The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation has presented its honorary Lindbergh Award to people whose work has made significant contributions toward the balance between technology and nature. Those who support the Foundation's mission gather once a year at an event where the award recipient(s) is the featured speaker. The occasion serves as an opportunity to honor the award recipient, communicate a common vision and inspire those in attendance.

The Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation also sponsor other educational and motivational efforts designed to honor the Lindberghs and advance their vision of balance. Included are symposiums and publications.
