Who We Are

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called forth a global vision of beloved community, in which all people share in the wealth of the earth—a society based on justice, equity, non-violence, and love. His extraordinary work and vision leads the Thriving Communities mission.

PARTNER TESTIMONIAL

"Thriving Communities has partnered with us at an inflection point in our growth. We've been using the trailer as an introduction to The Fountain Fund to audiences around the country. We can't wait to premiere the film in Charlottesville in March and to see the opportunities that it creates."
