Our programs are clarified as Ongoing, Annual, Short Term (to initiate as planned activities from 1-5 years) and Long Term (for planned activities from 5-10 years). This list is merely a guide; our actual programs are announced on this web site as we put them into action. Please check back from time to time to see what we are up to. Education
TLF continues to develop and update our web site to provide information about our organization, as well as, being a resource of information that relates to the vision and understanding of unconditional love. By accessing the web site, anyone can research the concept of unconditional love, self love, self esteem, and other timeless understandings. Global Love Day (Annual) TLF initiated and sponsor GLOBAL LOVE DAY each May 1st as an international day of love with the theme "Love Begins With Me." Designed to touch all people around the world and focus on the power and grace of love through forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, diversity and community. See the special section on our site for further details. Art, Essay and Poetry Invitational (Annual) In conjunction with GLOBAL LOVE DAY, we sponsor an annual ART, ESSAY and POETRY INVITATIONAL open to anyone young at heart. Director's Awards are presented to one Finalist from each category and the Founder's Award is presented to one piece that best embodies the theme for that year. Love Ambassadors (Ongoing) We encourage individuals to become an Ambassador of Love and offer an acknowledgement of distinction. All that is required is the desire and intent to share in unconditional love. We ask people to nominate themselves or another through our site as an ambassador of love by sharing compassion for all life. Act of Love (Ongoing) This unique program is designed to acknowledge and recognize a specific act that goes above and beyond the ordinary expression and demonstrates an "unconditional" approach to life. All that is required is an event or expression that exemplifies the intent of unconditional love. We ask people to nominate themselves, another individual, group, organization or business through our site as an Act of Love. Volunteer Country and Regional Coordinators (Ongoing) Creating an alliance of volunteers around the world, we have individual country coordinators that represent the mission and vision of The Love Foundation on a local country basis. These dedicated individuals share the desire to inspire people to love unconditionally and coordinate relevant activities throughout their country on our behalf. TLF Online Forum (Ongoing) This online forum allows for people to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences of unconditional love along with exchanging information on our various programs. Seminars and Workshops (Ongoing) Seminars and workshops are available for presentation to requesting groups that educate and share the idea of unconditional love for self and others. These seminars provide a practical discussion on the benefits of living life through unconditional love. Meditations (Ongoing) We present and/or co-host free meditation classes to requesting groups, other organizations, and the general public. These classes are geared to beginner and experienced levels, offering an educational discussion on the values of meditating along with techniques and actual guided group meditations. Halfway Home/Post Prison Rehabilitation (Hiatus) We have presented weekly meditation, life skills and awareness classes in the Tampa Bay area (also addressing addiction recovery) to a local halfway home for women. These types of gatherings are geared to beginner levels offering an educational discussion on the values of meditating along with techniques and actual guided group meditations. Media/Billboard Public Service Message (Long Term) The Love Foundation is pursuing the development of a public media campaign. Through various media, (e.g. public service announcements, billboard messages, etc.) we will present the reminder of the power of unconditional love to the general public. This program can provide valuable exposure to the visions of the foundation. If you, or someone you know, could assist in this area, please contact us. PBS Television Program (Long Term) In line with our overall vision to inspire people to love unconditionally, the medium of television can be a powerful tool. In 1997, our founder, Harold W. Becker, was featured in a pledge drive special entitled Unconditional Love - A Guide to Personal Freedom. The DVD is now available on our Products page. We are currently seeking a PBS station to produce and air an updated version of this show or develop a a series of shows to help guide and inspire viewers throughout the country and world. Research
The Love Foundation is beginning to research and catalog electronic and related resources of information that further the understanding of unconditional love, self esteem, positive thinking and other aspects of the vision of this organization so that we may provide these resources as an electronic database via our web site. Resource Library (Long Term) Physical resources of information related to the vision and concept of unconditional love are being identified and may possibly be acquired by the foundation. It is expected that over time these resources will be catalogued and be made available to the general public or any interested groups to research the subject of unconditional love. Research Grants (Long Term) To improve the lives of all people, it may be possible for The Love Foundation to conduct research that scientifically shows the nature of love and its effects physically, emotionally and mentally. Additionally, there may be opportunities to assist in other research programs that furthers the vision of unconditional love set forth by our organization. Charity
We are actively acquiring informational resources and materials such as books, tapes, programs, or essays on unconditional love, self esteem, and positive thinking for example, that can be donated or borrowed by requesting or targeted groups. Donations to Groups (Long Term) We hope to provide small monetary donations to other qualified nonprofit groups and organizations, agencies or similar exempted groups that embody the vision and spirit of The Love Foundation. Micro Grants and Funding (Long Term) As the organization matures and receives sufficient funding, a program will be developed to provide larger sums of grant money to exempt groups and organizations that embody the ideals of unconditional love.
