OUR PHILANTHROPIC PHILOSOPHY

The Lodestar Foundation was created to put into practice a set of five interrelated sequential principles. These principles form the basis upon which our mission has been developed.

1

The basic goal of all humans is inner happiness.

Learn more about the relationship between happiness and philanthropy.

3

One meaningful purpose is to endeavor to help one’s fellow man.

Learn more about the concept of Giving While Living.

5

Applying tools of leverage to philanthropic resources can maximize the impact of helping others and thereby magnify the opportunity to achieve happiness.

2

Happiness can only be found by identifying and striving to achieve a meaningful purpose for one’s existence.

4

Although there are countless ways to help, ultimately the ability to help is limited by one’s time, money and other resources.
