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.

Wealth Source:The foundation was established through collaborative community initiative in the mid-1970s driven by individuals from the legal profession, health sector, and government agencies. It is not a private wealth-founded foundation but rather a community-driven charitable organization.
