The Dharma Foundation was founded by Nathan Hangen as a spin-off of his spirituality blog entitled: Live the Dharma. The Dharma Foundation aims to minimize and end suffering for the inhabitants of the Planet Earth. Some of the goals of the Dharma Foundation are:

• Help stop the needless suffering of animals in food farms and help convince the world that killing our animal friends for food is bad for human and animal alike.
• Help the victims of cruel human acts such as rape, murder, and sexual abuse. We Want to do our best to minimize the suffering of these victims and shine a light on those that commit such acts.
• Promote peace and compassion as a vehicle to help us all co-exist in happiness.
