Tender Beauty Foundation, Inc.

"Everyone is great because everyone can serve."

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Tender Beauty Foundation, Inc. is funded by  a portion of profits from www.tenderbeautypearls.com.

The Foundation engages in volunteerism, grant-making, and producing a FREE quarterly online newsletter, Ocean Currents (copyrights 2008 and 2009, trademark pending, back issues not available).

Our all-volunteer staff and Board of Trustees serve their local communities as volunteers in education, children's and disability services, and other causes.

Pearl-bearing oysters and other life on earth have been threatened to the point of extinction owing to predation, over-fishing, water pollution, global warming, war, and disease. That's why we are committed to environmental protection.

Grant making areas are:

1. Conservation and Preservation of the world’s oceans and waterways, freshwater resources, parks, and marine as well as land-based wildlife (the Foundation has a special focus on mollusks and feline animals);

2. Education for children, teens, and adults the world over, with a special focus on literacy for those with and without disabilities. Scholarships also are available to teens and adults, for secondary and higher education, and professional training programs, in the U.S. and abroad; and

3. Medical Research into the root causes and cures for asthmatic, allergic, and neurological disorders, skin cancer, mental illness and addiction, and heart disease - at research centers throughout the world.

Grants and scholarships are awarded at the end of the calendar year. Applications with an original signature are due by November 1.
