Between 1985 and 1994 FAIR accepted roughly 1.2 million dollars from the Pioneer Fund, the foundation created in 1937 by [[Wickliffe Draper]] to promote eugenics and "race betterment" and classified as a hate group by the SPLC. Tanton introduced FAIR leaders to the Pioneer Fund's president, and the same race-science network underwrote figures such as [[Richard Lynn]] and the journal [[Mankind Quarterly]]. Tanton corresponded with the white nationalist [[Jared Taylor]], the former Klan lawyer [[Sam Francis]], and Holocaust deniers, and wrote in a 1993 letter that to maintain American culture "a European-American majority" was required. His private papers, sealed at the [[University of Michigan]] until 2035, were partly reported by the SPLC and the Times.[^1][^2][^5]
The "European-American majority" line came from a letter Tanton sent on December 10, 1993 to the ecologist [[Garrett Hardin]], author of the essay "The Tragedy of the Commons" and a fellow population-control hardliner. Tanton brought FAIR officials to a 1997 meeting at a private club to meet the Pioneer Fund's president [[Harry F. Weyher Jr.]], and a 1998 Tanton memo circulated a paper on "sub-replacement fertility" by the race scientist [[Roger Pearson]], who edited Mankind Quarterly and ran the Institute for the Study of Man. Through the Social Contract Press he published tracts by white nationalists and Holocaust deniers, knitting the immigration lobby to the same figures who staffed the organized race-science network.[^8][^9]
