Established in 1968 as an educational charity, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust exists to preserve and make available Krishnamurti’s teachings, as well as to support Brockwood Park School, Inwoods Small School and the Krishnamurti Centre. The role of the Foundations was described by Krishnamurti himself when he said, 'The Foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities… nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.' The Foundation is not a religious organisation nor does it have any spiritual authority but it provides a service to those who may be interested in pursuing an understanding of Krishnamurti’s teaching in their own lives. The staff of the Foundation work in close cooperation with Information Centres in Britain and Ireland, Committees around the world, and the Krishnamurti Foundations and Centres in America, India and Spain.
