Welcome to Our COMMON Foundation.
Established in 2007 under the visionary leadership of Dr. Matthew King, Our COMMON Foundation has been an incubator of social and environmental enterprises, launching dozens of new entities since our founding.
Our mission is to incubate, nurture, and empower social and environmental entrepreneurs with a non-profit vision, guiding and supporting them in their quest to serve people and the planet.
Our COMMON Foundation seeks to honor one source of inspiration—Our COMMON Future, written in 1987. The Brundtland Commission’s report was pivotal in focusing on the urgent need to pursue sustainable development, emphasizing meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
We are a dedicated and passionate team that provides invaluable mentorship, leadership skills, and creative advice to those who share an unwavering commitment to driving positive social and environmental change.
Our ultimate goal is to facilitate the launch of independent 501c3 organizations strategically designed for long-term success. Since our inception, we have achieved remarkable milestones, securing over $5 million in funding to drive our shared vision.
