Social Liberty Foundation

Education and study of ideas about social structures and phenomena.

We're a California nonprofit public benefit corporation supporting research, publication, and public education on alternative models of governance and community — and, in turn, other nonprofits doing similar work.

What we believe

Education, not advocacy

We study and publish on ideas about social structures and governance — libertarian, georgist, and beyond — so readers can reason about them, rather than pushing a party line.

Open inquiry across traditions

Alternative models of governance, property, and community are worth taking seriously on their own terms, examined with the same rigor as the status quo.

Public, not private, benefit

We're organized as a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. No part of the foundation exists for private gain — research, writing, and grants all serve the public.

Strengthening the field

Beyond our own publishing, we aim to support other nonprofits doing aligned educational and civic work, rather than treating them as competitors.

Planned programs

The foundation is newly formed. These programs are in development, not yet active — we'll share updates here as they launch.

Planned

Civic Discourse Speaker Series

A planned monthly public talk and discussion on topics in social structures, governance models, and civic life — free to attend, recorded, and posted publicly.

Planned

Community Research Fellowship

A planned stipend program funding independent researchers to complete and publish research on alternative social and community structures.

Planned

Allied Nonprofit Support Fund

A planned small-grants program making general-operating or project grants to other 501(c)(3) organizations with an aligned educational or civic mission.
