The 100th Monkey Foundation's mission

Through the universal language of music, and the community-mindfulness it often creates, The 100th Monkey Foundation’s mission is to provide support to critical and necessary social services, assist others in need, promote individuality in the arts, help secure a healthy environment, and build a stronger fellowship with our neighbors.

In pursuit of this mission, the Foundation’s Board has established the following Guiding Principles and Values:

  • Support organizations committed to grassroots action
  • Identify entities doing good work that might otherwise be overlooked
  • Help people who are helping others and are trying to make a difference
  • Benefit the broader community and the broader good
  • Respect individual rights and differences
  • Respect traditional wisdom cultures

 

  • Be a catalyst for change where our involvement helps leverage greater impact
  • Provide support beyond direct funding by boosting the visibility of the recipient’s work
  • Help people develop bold new solutions to problems
  • Exercise appropriate risk-taking while practicing trust, inclusiveness and open-mindedness
  • Promote an active, informed citizenry
  • Remain non-partisan
