The Earth and Space Foundation is an international charity that funds scientific exploration that helps us both understand the Earth's environment and explore the frontier of space, bringing the environmental and space exploration communities together to address the challenges facing society (mission statement).

Since its establishment in 1994 the Foundation has helped support over 60 projects around the world.

This work includes field research that uses space technology and information to help protect and understand the Earth's environment and field research that applies environmental knowledge to help us to explore other planets. Through its work the Foundation seeks to fulfil the vision of "the Earth as an Oasis, cared for by a space faring civilization".
