ABOUT MARRA
Sunflower Image
All the people of the world are connected in one web of life; what affects one of us, affects us all. Yet only a tiny fraction (1.8%) of the money given away by U.S. citizens goes to help people overseas.

Mindful that too many of the world's people live without basic needs such as clean water, medical care, and economic opportunity, and aware of the greater impact our resources can make overseas, we are committed to actions that help redress the world's imbalance.

The Marra Foundation supports projects that result in sustainable change in people's lives and create opportunities for people to become involved in compassionate service. The Foundation's goal is to develop collaborative projects that have positive impact on the health and wholeness of all participants.

Two-thirds of our giving supports global projects.
