History
In 1998, Lisa Craig Gautier founded Matter of Trust with the assistance of her husband, Patrice Olivier Gautier (VP of Internet Software & Services at Apple, Inc.). This ecological nonprofit received 501(c)3 public charity status in May of 1999. Matter of Trust's mission purposefully concentrates only on ecological progress and the environment we DO want to see in the future. Our many programs work in integrated cycles, mimicking Mother Nature. We highlight natural abundance in equilibrium, integrating renewable resources into manufacturing and green jobs. We promote balancing manmade surplus with needs, and provide enthusiastic, collaborative eco-education. The results are worthwhile, commonsensical, and often enchanting.
