A Legacy of Purpose. A New Chapter Begins.
Founded in 2007, Our COMMON Foundation began as a philanthropic incubator—supporting bold ideas at the intersection of social impact, environmental sustainability, and public good. Over the years, we’ve mentored social and environmental entrepreneurs, launched dozens of initiatives, and seeded new non-profits, while raising $5.25 million since 2013 to support people and the planet.
Today, we enter a new chapter. Read the Founder’s transition letter here.
What began as a wide-reaching incubator has now evolved into a creative and philanthropic platform—a space for purpose-aligned programs that reflect our deepest commitments. We’re distilling our mission to focus on what matters most: fostering creativity, honoring the Earth, and sustaining the human spirit in times of global change.
Our Current Initiatives
We now support two high-impact programs led by extraordinary people:
Parsonage Gallery (Led by Dr. Aaron Rosen)
A historic art space on the Maine coast exploring the sacred connection between ecology, creativity, and spirit.
Ukraine Under Fire (Led by Jordan Campbell)
A film project documenting the war in Ukraine and elevating stories of resilience, democracy, and human rights.
As we continue to support these initiatives, we invite you to explore the stories, art, and ideas they bring to life—and to follow along as our journey unfolds.
