2. D. Gary Young Foundation
The D. Gary Young Foundation is a nonprofit charity dedicated
to educating, awakening and inspiring individuals to love
others, honor nature and live a healthy lifestyle. Founded by
Don Gary Young, the founder and CEO of Young Living Essential
Oils, the foundation provides educational, economical and
medical support to individuals and communities in need
worldwide.

3. Young Living Essential Oils
Gary Young founded Young Living Essential Oils in 1994, after
experiencing the profound wellness and healing effects of
essential oils. The birth of the company stems back to 1990
when Gary developed his first organic herb farm in Spokane,
Washington. Shortly after, he developed more farmland in Utah
and Idaho, where he cultivated many herbs, including lavender,
peppermint, melissa and clary sage.

4. Young Living Essential Oils
Since its founding, Young Living Essential Oils has
become a world leader in essential oils, aromatherapy
products and wellness solutions. Headquartered in Utah,
the company has grown to have offices and farms
worldwide, including in Australia, Canada, Japan, Europe
and Singapore. Young Living also has the largest and
most technically advanced distillery for the production of
essential oils in North America.

5. Don Gary Young
Gary Young’s vision to create Young Living
Essential Oils and the D. Gary Young
Foundation stems from his love of helping
others. Through Young Living, he introduces
people to the profound healing and wellness
benefits of pure essential oils. With his
charity he helps hundreds of people
worldwide through relief programs,
educational programs, and sponsorships. He
shares his expertise and personal
experiences with essential oils and natural
remedies to help others achieve optimal
health.

6. Giving Back
The D. Gary Young Foundation provides support to communities and
individuals in need here and abroad. The Foster-A-Child program is a
sponsorship program providing support to children in Guayaquil,
Ecuador. It helps children learn, remain healthy and grow into well-rounded
adults. The foundation also supports at-risk children, builds
schools, contributes financial support to the research of essential oils,
and provides disaster relief.
