The Sopris Foundation conducts an array of programs and events, which participants of all ages can attend. These include film competitions for students, as well as the renowned State of the World Conferences which feature speakers of international repute. A majority of the issues that the Sopris Foundation focuses on are in the arena of population control, natural resources and maintaining a political balance. The principal founder of this organization, John McBride is especially concerned with matters like preserving open spaces and supports local groups that work towards this goal.
The Foundation has also conducted a study pertaining to energy used by Vacation Homes in Aspen and developing methods to curtail wastage. Most importantly, it is the ideals of hard-work and self-reliance that the Foundation believes in, which lead it to propagate well-designed townships, and also exchange ideas with other countries to work towards this goal. With their untiring efforts to build a self-sufficient and vibrant community, the Sopris Foundation has already effected many changes and is working towards opening new avenues to the local community, to inculcate the value of conservation and an emphasis on planned growth.
