footnotes work
editHi. To the person who wrote this, or wrote much of it, or to the people (pl.) who worked on it originally, you did a very nice job. The only thing involved in my recent edit was to add the < references/ > for the footnotes. Your notes were not working, as they would not if there is no tag for them. From the section on Personal Life onward, you will still need to put the citation info. if you want. --Ashley Rovira 15:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
EFN
editI've not found any source that says that Goldsmith founded EFN. Moved this bit from article to here, pending verification.
In 2003 Goldsmith also co-founded the UK Environmental Funders Network,[1] described as "an informal network of trusts, foundations and individuals that make philanthropic grants on environmental issues. By 2010 the Network claimed responsibility for co-ordinating £75,500,000 across more than 6,000 grants to environmental advocacy initiatives.[2]

JMG Foundation

Goldsmith is understood to chair the Advisory Board of the JMG Foundation, named for his late father, which supports environmental advocacy campaigns. JMG is not a formally registered charitable foundation, which according to Goldsmith allows them flexibility in their efforts, noting, "this often leads us to support quite spiky work – campaigning and hard-hitting advocacy – which prompts governments or business to move further, and faster, towards a truly sustainable course."[1] Initiatives supported by Goldsmith's EMG foundation include Jeffrey M. Smith's global advocacy campaign in opposition to genetically modified foods. Goldsmith also serves as an adviser to the UK-based Ecology Trust established by his brother.[2]
