When Pedersens built Talus Rock, the essential vision was to share abundance with family, friends and others seeking a place of solace, refuge and reprieve from life’s hardships or fast paced, energy draining occupations - a place for people to renew and rejuvinate.

In keeping with this core vision, lodging dollars generously spent here continuously help to support local missions as well as international humanitarian efforts. Pedersen’s have a heart for causes that improve the lives of orphaned and at-risk children, help curb third world poverty through animal husbandry and overall health care provision in rural Third World countires. This unconventional social venture known as Talus Rock has consequently allowed guests to become extraordinary patrons of the following organizations.

	Kiva - connecting people through lending to alleviate poverty.		BookCrossing - making the world a library by sharing books and promoting literacy reaching out to third world countries.
	International Children's Network - providing aid to children in third world countries to help educate through the university level to change a country from the inside out.		The Luke Commission - providing healthcare to those in rural areas of Swaziland and southern Africa who cannot reach medical facilities due to poverty, lack of transport and resources.
