dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation and Co-Impact Sourcing®
In addition to sharing essential oils with the world, dōTERRA aspired to serve people and communities with the resources they had. Initially, this meant donating to charities, fundraisers, and community projects, but it eventually grew to be much more. The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation was created in June 2012 as an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The foundation is one of the ways dōTERRA reaches out and serves communities in need. They do this by partnering with organizations and dōTERRA Wellness Advocates to offer hope to millions around the world. Through the foundation’s efforts, lives are freed of disease and poverty, and communities are empowered with the tools needed to become self-reliant.
Co-Impact Sourcing is a responsible method for sourcing dōTERRA essential oils. This type of sourcing occurs in areas of the world that can best sustain plants for essential oils and, most importantly, can help elevate communities out of poverty and desperate need. Thanks to the relationships that have been developed in these Co-Impact Sourcing locations, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation has been able to establish humanitarian projects that benefit the hard-working community members in these areas.
