About Us
Thriving Communities originated with our founder Jerry Millhon, a nonprofit leader who wanted to help those making a meaningful impact within their communities tell their stories.
Based in Freeland, Washington, Thriving Communities has become a network of people and communities across the U.S. doing uncommon work for the common good.
Since 2012, Thriving Communities has produced inspiring films about individuals and organizations positively impacting their communities, donating each film to the featured organization. Our work goes beyond the screen; we connect like-minded people and foster conversations, collaborations, and community.
Our movement is framed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Beloved Communities philosophy.
MISSION
Through films and gatherings, we are creating a world with a deep sense of belonging.
VISION
We believe in the power of stories to connect us and help us understand one another.
