The Beanstalk Foundation is a public foundation set up to help promote generosity in local communities in a unique way.
Mission
To promote acts of generosity within our communities by supporting every day heroes, called Gardeners, with funding, education and administrative support.
Beliefs
Deep caring for others - for those we know and those we don't know, for those like us and those distant from us - is the source of what is best in life. It is the fundamental antidote to the unnecessary suffering of the world, both for those with too much and those with too little. Selfishness and searching for personal happiness by chasing objects of enjoyment is the root of unhappiness for ourselves and others.
The wish to benefit others is the lever that makes giving powerful. The actual scale of what one gives is less important than the caring and personal connection that it leads to. The mutual personal empathy, appreciation, and dignity in the generosity equation - the giver, the gift, the gardener, and the recipient - is the key to its power and depth of benefit.
