About the Foundation

Foundation Beyond Belief is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational foundation created to focus, encourage and demonstrate the generosity and compassion of atheists and humanists.

The Foundation features ten charitable organizations per quarter in the following cause areas:

Health
Education
Poverty
Environment
Child Welfare
Human Rights
Animal Protection
Peace
The "Big Bang" Fund (small charity, big impact)
Foundation Beyond Belief

Members join the Foundation by signing up for a monthly automatic donation in the amount of their choice, then set up personal profiles to indicate how they would like their contribution distributed among the ten categories.

The centerpiece of the Foundation is a lively online community. Active members can join a social network and discussion forums centered on the ten categories of giving, advocate for causes, and help us choose the new beneficiaries each quarter. We'll also be hosting a multi-author blog of world-class contributors focused on humanism, philanthropy, and the intersection of the two.

Carefully selected for impact and efficiency, our featured beneficiaries may be founded on any worldview so long as they do not engage in proselytizing. At the end of each quarter, 100 percent of the donations is forwarded and a new slate of beneficiaries selected.
