About This Cause

Welcome to the COMMON Foundation Established in 2007 under the visionary leadership of Dr. Matthew King, the COMMON Foundation has been an incubator of social and environmental enterprises, launching dozens of new entities since our founding. Our mission is to incubate, nurture, and empower social and environmental entrepreneurs with a non-profit vision, guiding and supporting them in their quest to serve people and the planet. Dr. King leads a dedicated and passionate team of advisors and provides invaluable one-on-one mentorship, leadership skills, and creative advice for those who share an unwavering commitment to drive positive social and environmental change. Our ultimate goal is to facilitate the launch of independent 501c3 organizations strategically designed for long-term success. Since our inception, we have achieved remarkable milestones, securing over $5 million in funding to drive our shared vision. While participating in COMMON Foundation’s program, our team handles operational, administrative, legal, and financial aspects of running a non-profit. Experience has taught us that current and emerging creatives and leaders thrive with an external perspective, expertise, and a structured approach when launching new non-profit causes. Along the way, we mentor, advise, and train founders to take on these operational elements as they become more successful in implementing their vision and securing the necessary resources to achieve their mission. Surrounded by an extraordinary Advisory Board, we provide access to a wealth of knowledge to help you succeed. We help leaders develop a long-term commitment to their mission and understand the need for strong governance, financial transparency, effective fundraising, and strategic planning. We also help leaders assess and adapt to changing circumstances so that their efforts remain resilient and sustainable. Since then, we have helped dozens of leaders launch impactful projects and programs across the United States, Asia, Africa, and Latin America – securing more than $5 million to advance our collective mission to benefit people, the planet, and peace. These initiatives encompass a range of themes, including sustainable development, agricultural and conservation efforts, documentary films, arts, cultural and social justice advocacy programs, Water, Access to Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), disaster relief efforts, educational scholarships focused on minority and underserved students and teachers who serve them, and other great causes.
