THE FOUNTAIN PROJECT
OUR MISSION
HEALTH AND EDUCATION
The Fountain Project was originally formed in June 2001 and became incorporated and non-profited in 2006. The Fountain Project Foundation, Inc. is a group of volunteers from Eastern and Western traditions of medicine. They take one Sunday every other month to go to a monastery in Northern California and provide to the local residents, the nuns and monks, and students from grades K through 12. These residents usually have no medical insurance and do not receive welfare assistance. We treat anyone who comes to seek medical services. We are currently seeking partnership with other communities to expand our medical and health education outreach. The volunteer group usually consists of medical doctors, chiropractors, surgeons, optometrists, dentists, physical therapists, exercise instructors, massage therapists, nurses, medical assistants, acupuncturists, acupressure therapist and herbalists. These volunteers not only treat illnesses, but also educate the community on preventative care and general well being. Concurrent with the medical services, another group of volunteers goes to the community to lend assistance to repair work on the buildings and grounds. The Fountain Project Foundation is looking in the future to start a healing and retreat center for everyone to be able to go and relax, exercise, meditate, and to rid the body of stress and illness. The Retreat Center will be built in the style of a traditional Chinese four sided courtyard house with a large practice hall, meditation area, dormitories for men and women, and a treatment center to enhance our medical outreach.
Health Clinic
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those in need. With access to the right resources, people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.
Workshops
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. Homeless Outreach is something that we take very seriously, and our team is working each and every day to make a positive impact. Contact us to learn more about our commitment to this cause.
Seasonal Teas
At Fountain Project, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Food Donation Drop-Off is by no means an easy feat, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
Past Events, Fundraisers, Drives, Classes, and more below!
HOLIDAYS Exercise drive
During the pandemic years, it is more important than ever to exercise regularly to stay healthy. Not only does regular exercise strengthen the immune system, Fountain Project will also be donating food to families immediately in need.
For every 15 minutes that you exercise or meditate (any form welcomed), Fountain Project will donate $2.50 of food to Bay Area Rescue Mission, a local homeless shelter in Richmond, California.
Each person can enter up to 60 minutes per day (15 min per unit, up to 4 units per day max). Please submit your completed form once the form is filled up. The Fountain Project is aiming to raise a total of 900 hours of exercise which is equivalent to $9,000 worth of food (fresh baked bread, canned cranberries, rice and beans for Thanksgiving).
One form per person. We hope you will join Fountain Project to complete its ‘exercise drive’ to donate food to the families in need.
Download this form to log your total activities and email it to [email protected] to be processed.
Thank you for your effort to help us support our community.

Join James Baraz as he explores "Fear or Love: We have a choice." At this time of uncertainty, the mind can go towards worry, anxiety or compassion and connection. If we are committed to finding our own center in the middle of the swirl of emotions that naturally arise, we can access inner peace and our actions will be beneficial to everyone we meet.
James is creator and teacher of the Awakening Joy course. He is a co-founding Teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, CA and a dear friend of the Fountain Project.
