The George Family Foundation's mission is to support programs, organizations, and initiatives that transform lives by aiming to change the systems affecting those lives. It advocates for whole-person health and wellbeing, nurturing all aspects of humanity—mind, body, spirit, and community. The foundation aspires to empower individuals to take charge of their health and wellbeing, ensuring choice, and expanding access to whole-person health for all, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
The grant program focuses on fostering a compassionate society and empowering individuals through mindfulness and inner-life practices. It supports a mix of Spirituality and Inner Life endeavors, aiming to: 1) Foster respect, empathy, and compassion across divides in service of justice, equity, and civil discourse; 2) Empower individuals of all backgrounds to embrace practices that nurture wellbeing and healing; 3) Increase access to reflection and contemplation for exploring meaning, both individually and in community. Specific causes include Progressive Faith-Based Endeavors, emphasizing shared values across faiths for a more connected society, and Inner Life programs, investing in personal reflection, self-awareness, and resilience.
