The foundation would not have a family name and the criteria for donations would be:
Global
Environmental
Alternative energy
Sustainable
Economic development
Any ideas out there?

    Lots of ideas, need more information: what kind of foundation, giving to which specific causes, funded how, funding how? "environmental" is too wide, as are the other categories you mention. What's your mission, what's your vision, what's your goal?

    Who is the target audience? What do they need to know? Why might they find this a cause worth their support? Where?

    Perhaps you can address Gary's questions as well. The better we understand the organization and its goals, the better job we can do with naming direction.

    Thanks, guys. This foundation will be funded by a business with a mission to develop, fund, and manage sustainable, environmentally sensitive business projects. We are currently in discussion with local Hawaii government regarding alternative energy, waste water, and water reclamation projects. We also are preparing to work with the infrastructure for Island of Hawaii and Maui real estate infrastructure. We hope to buy-out several troubled projects in Hawaii

    I answered your questions. Any other ideas out there?
    What do you think of EarthAware?

    EarthAware sounds like an educational group, not a technology group.
    If you're targeting Hawaii, then linking in a Hawaiian name/image makes sense. If you're saying "we help anyone anywhere" then naming gets harder. Is your mission to "save the earth using science"?
