    About the Organization

    Menzies Philanthropic Foundation (Menzies Mission) is a non-profit dedicated to supporting orphans and vulnerable families through resources, education, and holistic development rooted in the Menzies 8 Keys of Needs: Housing, Health, Nutrition, Education, Family, Community, Faith, and Love. We believe that self-actualization is a powerful pathway to breaking cycles of poverty and trauma. Through mental and emotional support, healing-centered guidance, and community-rooted programs, we strengthen connection and belonging, empowering individuals to realize their potential and transform their future.

    In partnership with our social-impact company, Me Is We, we are developing a regenerative financial ecosystem to support the long-term sustainability and expansion of our mission. At the heart of this ecosystem is My Source Network, a global holistic wellness community platform devoted to healing and mindful connection. Through practitioners, conscious events, and transformational resources, My Source Network supports individuals on their journeys toward balance, empowerment, and belonging while cultivating a worldwide community rooted in healing, authenticity, and collaboration.

    We are an impact-driven organization rooted in integrity, accountability, collaboration, and service. Our work is guided by a commitment to collective healing and empowering the communities we serve, knowing that meaningful, lasting change is created together. If you feel called to bring your skills, presence, and purpose into our mission, we would be honored to welcome you into the Menzies Mission community.
