The Heartfelt Foundation, founded in 1979, is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving and assisting people in any form of need. Over 90% of all donations received go directly to those whom the Foundation serves.

Heartfelt's mission statement is: "Changing people's lives through the healing power of heartfelt service."

Our heart-to-heart service in the human community is demonstrated in a variety of ways ranging from feeding those who are hungry, assisting at-risk and in-need families, supporting disadvantaged or abused children, helping those with no homes, to providing comfort to the sick and terminal.

Well over 100,000 people have been reached with heartfelt caring through the years, and more than 20,000 volunteers have been given the opportunity to provide hands-on assistance to those less fortunate. Heartfelt has expanded from a small local group in Southern California, to an on-call network of dedicated volunteers around the world. Additionally, Heartfelt has formed innovative alliances with individual volunteer agencies and service organizations to enhance their assistance to the community of the disadvantaged.

What is especially unique about Heartfelt is that it networks direct, person-to-person assisting opportunities to individuals and groups wishing to volunteer. It matches the desire to do service with the need to be served, creating an exceptionally direct response to community needs.

Heartfelt is funded entirely through the generosity of individuals, businesses and a small number of charitable grants.
