In The
Vision

The Fetzer Institute believes today’s social problems cannot be solved by politics alone. True progress requires a deeper understanding of human flourishing, rooted in love, faith, spirituality, and shared values as drivers of meaningful change.

We are catalyzing a collaborative philanthropic movement, amplifying resources and connecting with funders who share our belief in the transformative power of these values. Together, we will nurture a well-funded movement that sparks societal transformation and fosters flourishing for all.

The Fetzer Institute is making a bold commitment to this critical work, pledging $180 million over the next five years. See Fetzer’s investments and how we’re funding the movement here. But it takes more than us…and we invite you in! We recognize that addressing the deep-rooted issues we face requires more than a single foundation, organization, or donor. It will take a collective movement to heal the underlying problems that challenge our world.

To realize the vision, Fetzer’s Ally Development team builds deep, committed partnerships within the philanthropic community. Together, we mobilize resources for greater impact while deepening and sharing a common understanding of how love, faith, and spirituality shape our giving.
