Nearly 40 years ago, inclination led Richard Blum to found theAmerican Himalayan Foundation
The walls of the stately corner suite are lined with photos from Blum’s mountain ascents, complete with a chunk of the east face of Everest mounted on a plaque. Interspersed with climbing ephemera are glossy pictures with political friends and allies including former President Bill Clinton. In one huge framed photo, Blum is standing directly behind former President Barack Obama during his inauguration. “It looks like I’m being sworn in!” he jokes. It’s an especially amusing line from the devoted husband of California’s second-longest-serving federal representative, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. His pride is evident; one shelf of Blum’s massive bookcase is filled with vintage buttons featuring campaign slogans and political statements, such as a pink aluminum rectangle depicting the recognizable stateswoman’s face with the words “Feinstein for Governor ’90.”
AHF grew out of another profound personal relationship, too. In the early 1970s, Blum struck up a friendship with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, who was born in Tibet and has been visiting the Bay Area biannually for decades. Shortly before the American Himalayan Foundation’s annual dinner this fall, Blum traveled to India to spend time with his old friend. The nearly 46-year friendship between the businessman and the Buddhist monk born the same month and year — July 1935 — is sustained by such visits. “He doesn’t do phones,” Blum notes with a knowing shrug.
With an initial focus on Tibet, today the foundation also supports vital programs in Nepal and Bhutan. AHF-funded projects continue to encompass a dizzying array of needs, from stemming the trafficking of young girls to protecting endangered wild tigers from illegal poaching. But AHF doesn’t do this work alone. It partners with local organizations already operating on the ground and experienced in the region. In one of dozens of examples, the foundation supports Nepal’s Fund for the Tiger, which disrupts animal-related crimes by stationing poaching patrols in natural habitats and along smuggling routes.
