What is the Foundation?

PDF Print E-mail


The Foundation takes its name from the 19th century American social reformer Henry George.

First established in 1920 with the coming together of local land leagues from across the UK, the Foundation's approach is inspired by George's profound insights and radical ideas. These insights and ideas remain as applicable for society today - and as vital if we are to increase our understanding of and develop lasting solutions to today's profound social, economic and environmental problems.


Who's who in the Henry George Foundation?

The work of the Foundation's volunteers is managed and directed by our trustees who are elected by and responsible to our membership.


The work of the Foundation is sustained by a broad base of donating supporters.
