About Captain Planet Foundation
Co-founded in 1991 by Ted Turner and Captain Planet and the Planeteers series executive producer, Barbara Pyle, CPF became a public charity in 2002, under the Chairmanship of Laura Turner Seydel. Its President & CEO, Leesa Carter-Jones, has helmed the organization since 2012, evolving it from a grant-making foundation into an operating organization with four national and global programs.
