What is the Henry George Foundation, and what do we do?
The Henry George Foundation is an independent economic and social justice think tank and public education group with offices in London. We deal in cutting-edge ideas, exploring and promoting principles for a just and prosperous society and a healthy environment.
Our broad concern is the development of sound relationships between the citizen, our communities (from the local to the global) and our shared natural and common resources. These relationships are manifested through economics and the social sciences, and it is here that our specific focus lies.
We are active on three broad fronts: research, education, and advocacy - searching for and putting forward practical and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable social problems.
The Henry George Foundation has the aim of putting people at the heart of economics.

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.

One of its constituting documents is its Memorandum of Association which states that "the objects for which the [Foundation] is established are the promotion and advancement of learning by research into economic and social science and by educating the public therein, and in particular by publishing, publicising and assisting in the propagation for the benefit of the public of ideas and research dealing with...the above-mentioned objects."
Over the years our educational effort has taken many forms.

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.

The implementation of the Henry George Foundation's approach to sharing the value of our common and natural resources, and paying in a different way than we do for our public services and infrastructure, while technically and politically simple to implement, would have far-reaching and profound beneficial consequences for society and the environment.
The Foundation's approach addresses the key issues of the 21st Century: equitable access to our common resources, a fair system of taxation, rural and urban land rights, the creative liberation of enterprise & development, the elimination of involuntary poverty & debt, the realising of environmental justice, the full empowering of communities and the proper realisation of public life, with its necessary public services and infrastructure, and the laying of the foundations of profound international trade justice.
