Incubating social action projects that bridge divides.

For over three decades, Mediators Foundation has supported and enhanced the work of America’s leading bridge-builders and civic thought leaders.

Our Mission

When you read about the many issues dividing America, you may wonder: who is working to bridge these divides?

We are.

Mediators Foundation does this invisible work quietly and without fanfare. We help a new generation of civic change agents test and launch their initiatives. We also initiate new projects that strengthen the bridge-building field to address some of the deeper issues of our time.

How We Bridge Divides

We support and launch projects doing on-the-ground work.

Our Services

  • Project Cultivation

    We support projects from their inception by providing services ranging from fiscal sponsorship & financial management to catalytic learning communities & strategic advisory.

  • Field Building Initiatives

    These joint ventures provide an essential service to the civic ecosystem at large. They are launched, hosted, and sponsored by Mediators Foundation in partnership with other thought leaders.

  • Consulting

    Our team of experienced consultants offers a variety of services focused on collaborative leadership, bridge-building, civic innovation, and democratic renewal.

How You Can Help

  1. Talent. If you are a social entrepreneur who doesn’t automatically take sides in conflict but prefers to bring all sides together, please get in touch with us and see how we might work together.

  2. Promotion. We welcome media-savvy support from those who can highlight the amazing work of Mediators’ projects and spread the healing message that we can bridge divides.

  3. Funding. Since big conservative and liberal funders give to “one side or the other”, we invite donors who believe in reuniting America to learn more about us and consider supporting our Foundation or specific projects.
