Conscious
Foundation, Inc.
An
Educational & Charitable
Non-Profit Organization
We
are sowing the seeds of change...
In
1999, when we founded ConsciousMedia.com, we set out
to build a company that would help to raise planetary
consciousness by helping individuals raise their own
consciousnesses.
Media products serve this purpose by forming
the building blocks of knowledge for the many
disciplines and principles within the body/mind/spirit
genre. Understanding
that online and offline communities also can further
this purpose, ConsciousMedia.com's vision included a
vital community-building component.
Along these lines, we also set out to start and
provide the seed money for a non-profit foundation to
further these purposes.
The
idea was to create a non-profit foundation to explore
and enhance additional possibilities through
non-profit communities.
When we founded this company, we decided that
each year ConsciousMedia.com would dedicate 5% of its
profits to the foundation and also decided that we
would share with the foundation a portion of personal
wealth that might be generated by ConsciousMedia.com.
As
part of ConsciousMedia.com's mission, this year we
founded the Conscious Foundation, Inc., a Virginia
non-profit corporation created for charitable and
educational purposes.
The Conscious Foundation will work with others
to raise understanding and consciousnesses of
body/mind/spirit principles and goals, such as
ecological values, humanitarianism, and healthy
lifestyles. In
addition to organizing and supporting educational
initiatives, the Foundation will establish a
competitive grant process to collect proposals from
other like-minded non-profit organizations and fund
selected participants.
The
Conscious Foundation is in start-up mode and is
planning for the future.
Currently, it is focusing on its guidelines,
policies, and organizational structure.
The Foundation envisions establishing a paid
staff, to be headed by an executive director.
This staff will identify potential partners,
seek additional sources of funding, and design and
implement educational programs concerning the body,
mind, and spirit.
Of course, among the Foundation's first
priorities are to design and implement a fund raising
strategy and to outline its process of reviewing and
granting awards to non-profit applicants.
In addition, the Foundation will partner with
like-minded companies, like ConsciousMedia.com, that
seek to establish public-private partnerships to
address charitable and humanitarian causes.
