In a world that is increasingly interrelated, the Compton Foundation seeks to foster human and ecological security by addressing contemporary threats to these inalienable rights. Compton supports responsible stewardship that respects the rights of future generations to a balanced and healthy ecology, both personal and global, allowing for the full richness of human experience. The Foundation focuses most of its grantmaking in the areas of Peace and Security, Environment and Sustainability, and Population and Reproductive Health, with a special emphasis on projects that explore the interconnections between these categories.
