The Advancing Mind mission is to help people make better decisions to fulfill their gifts and talents. Through the intelligent application of truth and knowledge to everyday problems, individuals can transform and improve the quality of life for themselves and everyone around them. The Advancing Mind Foundation believes the benefits of self-discovery are fully experienced through a working knowledge of spiritual and affirmative practices. We believe everyone can access this inner capacity to use a universal, Creative Intelligence to replace all inferior thoughts that lead to many self-worth issues. These choices lessen optimism about the future and diminish motivation to pursue any goal. When everyone advances their own mind, the whole planet advances.
The Advancing Mind Foundation is a Donor Advised Fund created under a national Charitable Endowment Fund managed by Raymond James Financial Services, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Established in 2015 for the purpose of making grants to 501c3 nonprofit organizations, primarily in the U.S., the Advancing Mind Foundation makes grants to organizations dedicated to helping individuals recover from many challenges and go on to lead useful and productive lives. We believe everyone has this ability if given the opportunity. Great discoveries and meaningful recoveries are evidence of creative and intelligent uses of the mind.
We support education, medicine, science, the environment, the arts, and human development projects. Through outreach, education and teaching of universal truths, every individual can possess greater knowledge of themselves and apply their knowledge beneficially to make better decisions. A practice of better decision-making is laid out in Power Your Decisions Self-Study Workbook, written to teach anyone how to use a Universal Intelligence called Mind. This Mind is available in everyone who desires to start applying affirmative thinking to their lives. These positive and affirming practices will help them let go of inferior thoughts that choke off more perfectly expressed ideas.
This self-study workbook offers instruction to anyone who wants to let go of inferior thinking that holds them back. More and more, intelligent and self-actualized decisions are required by individuals, small groups and whole organizations. Learn more here and purchase at your favorite book retailer. A portion of the proceeds from each workbook purchased will be donated to the Advancing Mind Foundation. These donations, among others, go toward grants made by the foundation to nonprofit organizations throughout the year. All awards will be updated and published on this website here.
