Giving Philosophy
As a service provider rather than a traditional grant-giving foundation, Forster Foundation operates a therapeutic community model where 'the community itself serves as the primary therapist.' They focus on holistic recovery through peer support, structured phases, and personal transformation, believing in addressing substance misuse and co-occurring mental health challenges to create pathways for individuals to thrive.
