Mindful Funders

Mindful Funders is a community of charitable funders with an interest in mindfulness and meditation.  We share ideas and opportunities for supporting programs that improve quality of life through mindfulness practices.  Our goal is to join together to maximize the impact we as individual funders can have. The group has been convened by the BESS Family Foundation since 2019.  

Our practice is to come together to be in community and to nurture, inspire, and support one another.  Ours is a safe space where funders can learn, share, and discuss a range of topics as they relate to our charitable support for mindfulness and meditation activities.  Through a shared way of being, there is a trust that taking action whether individually or collectively, will create ripples of impact.  Those who would benefit from joining us are individuals and foundations who are funding organizations that work in the mindfulness space and who are willing to share their thoughts on strategy, reasoning, and goals. 

Please do not contact us if you are looking for funding, as it is not our practice to recommend or introduce organizations, nor does our group jointly fund projects.
