Creating a better world for children...

Our Mission
Create a better world for children by improving human life, continuing indigenous cultures, and protecting fragile environments.

Projects
Every project supported by the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation is directly related to one of the three Foundation objectives: to improve human life, continue indigenous cultures and protect fragile environments. Over the years, the Foundation has created a better world for children by supporting projects in Asia, North America, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, Africa, Europe and Australia. Please click one of the links below to see a breakdown of projects by region.

Giving
The Foundation is supported by generous donations from stockholders, employees and distributors, a percentage of product sales and a fundraising dinner and auction that takes place every 18 months. Together, we are creating a better world for children.

Funding decisions for the Foundation are made by a committee comprised of a cross section of Nu Skin Enterprises officers and employees. Each project is thoroughly researched and the needs of the children and community which the project will affect are taken into consideration.

Your help is needed to both locate worthy projects the Foundation can support, and to supply these projects with the necessary funding.

Donations like those from the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation "make a life and death difference" to many children in Thailand, said Pirapat Mokarapong, MD, Secretary-General of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Foundation.

About Us:  The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation
Nu Skin Enterprises' spirit of long-term social responsibility led to the creation of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation-a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a better world for children by improving human life, continuing indigenous cultures, and protecting fragile environments.

The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation was established in 1996 under the direction of the board of directors of Nu Skin Enterprises. Nu Skin Enterprises and its divisions-Nu Skin, Pharmanex and Big Planet-were built on the hard work, commitment and passion of its distributors and representatives. These people are also the lifeblood of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation.

Nu Skin Enterprises employs thousands of people throughout the world, and in each market employees are encouraged to support projects in their communities. Corporate employees and company distributors also make monetary contributions to the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation. Additionally, they work together on many projects throughout the year, including gathering and wrapping Christmas gifts for needy families, serving as mentors to young schoolchildren and donating food to homeless shelters, among other things.

Nu Skin Enterprises provides for all overhead and administrative costs of the Foundation, ensuring that all donations go directly to those receiving aid.

The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation is based in Provo, Utah and is a registered 501(C)(3) non-profit organization in the United States.

History
In 1993, the phrase "force for good" was coined in a speech given by Nu Skin Enterprises' Chairman Blake Roney at the company's international convention in Salt Lake City. He envisioned the company becoming a force for good throughout the world. That wish has been realized in many ways. As declared in its mission statement, Nu Skin Enterprises is a force for good as it empowers people to improve [their] lives with rewarding business opportunities, innovative products, and an enriching and uplifting culture. In addition, Nu Skin Enterprises is a force for good when its collective talents and resources are shared with less fortunate people of the world.

At about the same time that Blake Roney made his force for good speech, the company's marketing department became acquainted with a world renowned ethnobotanist, Dr. Paul Cox, and his research. The company incorporated Dr. Cox's research into a line of products called Epoch and made arrangements for a portion of the sales of each Epoch product to be returned to the indigenous people from whom Dr. Cox derived ingredients and formulations. That cause-marketing arrangement was called the Force for Good Campaign. It is still in place today and has become one of the primary sources of the company's philanthropy.

Very soon after the establishment of the Force for Good Campaign, the funds from the sales of Epoch products were significant enough that it became necessary to create a separate procedure for handling those funds.

So, in 1996 Nu Skin Enterprises organized the Force for Good Foundation. The Foundation's administration and operational expenses are paid for by Nu Skin Enterprises, and company employees donate their time to see that things get done. But, otherwise, the Foundation is a non-profit organization completely independent of Nu Skin Enterprises' which supports humanitarian organizations and charities around the world, including two with which the Foundation has an ongoing relationship: the Seacology Foundation and the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation.

When the Force for Good Foundation made donations and grants over the years it was not always obvious to people outside the Nu Skin family that there was a relationship between the Foundation and Nu Skin Enterprises. So, in 2002, the Foundation's name was changed to the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation.
