NALITH, an original American vegan foundation was incorporated in 1964 as Nalith Education, Inc. by founders ‘Uncle Jack’ Jacob Tucker (1908-1993), Harold Tucker (1929-1985), and Jeffrey ‘VeganMan’ Tucker (1949- .) The NALITH Code acronym NA-ture L-ife T-ruth H-ealth represents a hybrid of Judaic/theosophic philosophy and Earth-centric science.
The Jacob Tucker Trust (‘JT Trust’) endowment by eccentric millionaire and Florida organic farmer, Jacob Tucker, followed the premature death of his brother Meyer, a kosher butcher. In the early 1980’s JT Trust provided $500,000 to ISKON, $250,000 to Miami Dade Community College and attempted various incorporations of a Tucker Family foundation in Florida and California, with familial beneficiaries Jean, Jeffrey, Michael and Stephen and exemplar George Eisman, PhD, who headed up the MDCC Environment Center.
Nalith, Inc. with a present corpus of $6.5M, commenced 501(c)3 grantor operations in 1985 supporting scores of ethical vegan grassroots entities and project leaders: American Vegan Society, Dr. Michael Klaper, EarthSave International, Howard Lyman, Prof. Richard Schwartz, T. Colin Campbell, North American Vegetarian Society et. al. Nalith Directors mandated sub-agencies including The Vegetarian and Vegan Association (VAVA,) Coalition for Cancer Prevention Through Plant-Based Eating, EarthSave – Florida chapter, and Save The Earth Ecocenter, Inc.
