Activities of the Henry George Foundation


What we do

The Henry George Foundation works to provide practical, socially just and necessary solutions to some of the major problems of the world in the 21st Century.

We look at old problems in new ways - we apply fresh thinking to what we see - and then we deliver new perspectives on what unhappily has become an old scene: the economic injustice in the world today.

We engage with opinion formers and policy-makers across the public, private and civil sectors. Our outreach work seeks to connect and enlighten - for example, building bridges with interested constituencies and seeding ideas in areas of public policy concern.

Our activities come under three broad headings - research, education, and advocacy.

Our Activities: Advocacy

PDF Print E-mail

The Henry George Foundation seeks to raise awareness to influence and change public attitudes about access to and the use of our common resources. We do this through non-political campaigning and advocacy work in support of our educational purposes.


We seek to share our insights and understanding, and encourage the implementation of our approach, through engagement with other bodies, individuals and forums. By these means we aim to assist the development of progressive policy solutions to seemingly intractable social problems.
