Tiffany Schauer is the executive director of Our Children’s Earth (www.ocefoundation.org), which she founded in 1998. The maverick public charity is recognized for its effectiveness in highly leveraged environmental justice campaigns and litigation, specializing in clean air issues. The foundation is based in San Francisco. Schauer travels the globe to visit and bring attention to pioneering non-profit projects. She also co-founded and serves on the board of directors of Courtney’s Foundation, which funds unique approaches to solving environmental and human rights issues. Prior to founding OCE, she was an attorney with San Francisco firm, Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, which represented industry clients in environmental litigation. She also served as vice chair of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Hearing Board and held key positions with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C. As she wrote in one of her Indagare blogs about visiting a Thai orphanage, “We have stopped wondering how this could happen—it doesn’t matter. Helping matters.”
