The Grassroots Hero Foundation rests on the belief that it takes very little to relieve human suffering. It takes only compassion and the decision to help others. 

But the Foundation is more than simply giving to others - it is about listening to the personal stories of individuals and investing in people in ways that strengthen human connections and relationships. We believe that this is best achieved by supporting grassroots volunteers and organizations who are trusted and best understand the needs of the people in their communities. We also believe in always putting people first and finding ways to make small but important differences in their lives whenever we can. We do this by ...

• Not quantifying suffering but finding ways to relieve it when it crosses our path.

• Looking behind closed doors where so many people suffer alone. 

• Listening to what people are telling us rather than deciding what is best for them.

• Offering support in ways that respect human dignity and human connectedness. 

• Supporting the everyday heroes who are already making real and meaningful differences for people every day.

• Knowing we can always, always make a difference.
