Join the movement to build greater social connection.
At the Foundation for Social Connection (F4SC), we are advancing social connection nation-wide rooted in evidence for our collective well-being. Our work translates research into practice, creates long-lasting partnerships and convening opportunities for field builders, and prioritizes social connection as a national value powered by lived experiences.
All of which is made possible through your support.
As a non-profit organization, we invite you to take action through a donation of any size and join us in fostering a vibrant society where social connection is at the heart of how we live.
Your donation will support:
- Action Guide for Building Socially Connected Communities Implementation - 96 community organizations across the US applied to be one of the five communities in our first Action Guide planning and training cohort. With your support, we can empower more communities to develop and implement their own evidence-based strategies for social connection.
- SOCIAL Framework Reports - Our team has released SOCIAL Framework reports on advancing connection in the Health, Education, Work, and Built Environment sectors. Future reports will focus on additional sectors such as Arts & Culture and Nutrition. Your support will enable us to gather the best experts and practitioners to guide our research, ensuring our reports are grounded in the latest evidence and enriched with real-world practices.
- Our Scientific Leadership Council (SLC) - Over the years, we have proudly expanded our interdisciplinary team of scientific advisors — chaired by renowned researcher Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad — and contributed our collective expertise to a number of significant projects, including the Surgeon General's Advisory. Additional project funding will accelerate the development of position papers, much-needed measurement consensus and guidance, and other bodies of work that will move the field forward.
- Convenings - We regularly activate and convene hundreds of thought-leaders, change makers, and communities from around the world. Your contribution will support our signature action forum and inaugural Social Connection Measurement Convening, strengthening our ability to elevate awareness, spotlight ground-breaking innovations, and promote evidence- and systems-based change.
- and more!
We are building a movement to address our crisis of disconnection. Your donation makes a big difference. Thank you for your support.
