The mission of Healing the Roots Foundation (HTRF) is to provide financial relief to activists who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, have suffered a serious injury, or need a sabbatical from their work in order to promote health and healing.

While they are undergoing treatment and rest and/or experiencing treatment-related financial distress or need money for support during sabbatical, HTRF will provide direct financial support for these "Bodhisattvas", the people who commit their time to protect our health and environment and to promote advancement of human rights and social justice. In addition, HTRF will serve as a resource for alternative supplemental treatment, including complimentary health-care, psychological, social, and spiritual support.
