The Shinnyo-en Foundation helps build more caring communities by supporting educational programs that engage and inspire young people in meaningful acts of service.

We believe in teaching our children the value of helping others in the spirit of goodwill and without regard to differences of faith or background.

The Foundation was established in 1994 by Shinnyo-en, a lay Buddhist order whose members strive to live with utmost sincerity and respect for others.

By providing financial support and resources, the Foundation partners with non-profit organizations that share our vision for bringing out the best in ourselves, our children and our communities.
