About

Our Vision

At Our COMMON Foundation, we know that most powerful transformations begin when we align what we create with who we truly are.

That’s why we support programs that promote hard-earned wisdom, lived experience, and creative imagination—all grounded in humility, integrity, and heart.

Whether through storytelling, visual art, spiritual reflection, conservation, or community-based initiatives, we invest in efforts that deepen our connection to each other, the Earth, and our shared future, while empowering others to do the same.

Our Approach

We’ve spent nearly two decades mentoring changemakers, launching new initiatives, and raising millions to support people, the planet, and peace.

Our COMMON Foundation began as a philanthropic incubator—but today, we operate more like a creative and legacy platform: focused, distilled, and aligned with our deepest truths.

We walk alongside visionaries—offering insight, structure, and strategic support to help them turn bold ideas into lasting impact. Our Advisory Board brings expertise across fields to support sustainable growth, strong governance, and mission alignment.

From launching new nonprofits and platforms to advising individual creatives and community leaders, we continue to support quietly radical efforts that are deeply sincere and ready to meet this moment.
