Our Work

The Fetzer Institute’s strategies work together to cultivate a sacred worldview and deepen spiritual grounding across sectors. Our goal is to inspire collective action toward a more loving, interconnected, and flourishing world.

Collective Action

The Fetzer Institute’s strategies work to inspire collective action towards shared flourishing. Fetzer believes that viewing the world as inherently sacred — through a diversity of faith and spiritual beliefs — is necessary for societal transformation. Therefore, we currently invest in collaboratives working to transform systems through a spiritual point of view. Collaboratives are groups of organizations or individuals who work together to think through their respective sectors and how we might raise awareness and implementation of sacred-rooted solutions for society’s greatest needs. Explore each of our collaboratives below.
