Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Organization'S Mission:

The Foundation was formed as a grassroots educational organization that seeks to advance the Philosophy of Human Respect by persuading people to rely, in all aspects of their lives, exclusively on voluntary relationships in the course of advancing their personal interests and values. This includes adopting a worldview that categorically rejects the use of all agents, personal, social or political, who seek to initiate force or fraud on their behalf. The Philosophy of Human Respect provides a framework for this worldview by recognizing and promoting fundamental social principles that drive human happiness, harmony and prosperity. These social principles include: All living organisms, including human beings, have an innate drive toward greater flourishing, happiness and life satisfaction. Physical harm to a person always decreases his or her opportunity to flourish, to achieve happiness and life satisfaction. Stealing a person's property always decreases his or her happiness and life satisfaction.
