These are the elements of which our planet is made. They provide the pathways for energy to flow, for life to grow and die and return again and again, giving birth to new life as the cycle ends and is reborn in countless evolutions.The work of the Jena & Michael King Foundation and Michael & Jena King Family Fund focuses on nurturing the cycle of life:energy that comes from the sun, the earth that provides the container for the seed, the water and the air that help it grow, the animals that pollinate and spread the seeds of the plant, the children that draw their nourishment from them.We do not seek to replace, control, short, or copy these fundamental capacities of the earth. We do endeavor to support those who seek to better know, to nurture actively, to play and create with and within them. As humans we have the ability to care for each other and for other beings, for the animals, for the trees, the grasslands, the air and waters and soil upon which we all, powered by this sun,depend.Founded: 2000over 100 Organizations SupportedWe are Jena KingJena King was raised in California and New Zealand.
