What Was the Lifespring Foundation?

Lifespring, Inc. wanted a vehicle through which Lifespring and graduates of Lifespring trainings could contribute to their communities. Thus, The Lifespring Foundation, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, was incorporated in California in 1975. The Foundation is legally, organizationally, and financially separate from Lifespring, Inc. The Foundation, which conducts trainings as a public service, is chartered specifically to facilitate and evaluate personal and professional development trainings for other nonprofit organizations, and to raise funds and do volunteer work for charitable nonprofit organizations.

The Lifespring Foundation has conducted trainings for the Oregon State Penitentiary system, the Oregon Job Corps, mental health workers in Portland, people over the age of 60 (the "60-Plus" Trainings), Ft Grant prison, the Arizona Federal Correctional Institution, Pleasanton, California, Broch Bridge Correctional Unit, Jessup Maryland, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, The San Jose Police Department, the Arizona Center for Women, CETA, Colorado, Bay Area Law Enforcement, San Quentin State Prison, and the District of Columbia Correctional Facility.
