Promoting The Art of Wellness
A BIT ABOUT US
All Greater Good Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization focused on "The Art of Wellness". We pursue programs that unite the understanding of health and art, and explore the complex relationship they share. We have a long history in connecting the public to scientific findings, translating the complex understanding of health to a common and understandable language. We are moving forward with that translation effort focusing now on the art of wellness, and everything that includes.
We believe in teamwork, and we work extensively with partners to pursue programs that would be impossible alone. We believe this broadens the impact we are able to have on the world around us, and allows us to spread our mission further.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
All Greater Good Foundation was created in an effort to promote wellness, initially by translating research “from bench to bedside", and now by supporting the art of wellness in all forms. We work in pursuit of improving public health, particularly in underserved communities. By translating and supporting various facets of wellness, we strive to engage and improve overall wellness in all communities. We believe that the various facets of wellness, such as self awareness, nutrition, preventative care, and art lead to an overall healthy lifestyle. Wellness is no one size fits all, and has many parts to nourish. We strive to provide the support necessary for the art of wellness to flourish in all its forms.
We believe in the power of teamwork as we work with other organizations to achieve our goals. We cannot do it alone nor should we. So we turn to others who are doing outstanding work in their fields and leverage their expertise with our own to have the greatest impact possible.
