A once-in-a-generation transition is underway.
We stand at a pivotal moment in American culture.
By 2030, the youngest members of the Baby Boom generation will reach retirement age.
A once-in-a-generation transition in institutional leadership is underway. At this critical juncture, emerging leaders in business, education, media, the arts, nonprofit, science, and beyond have an opportunity — and a responsibility — to transform and renew culture for the good.
To meet the moment and leave a better world for generations to come, we must reject the temptation toward cynicism and endless deconstruction, and commit to rebuilding around a shared story where self-giving love, mutual cooperation, and a cruciform vision of human flourishing are at the center.
Goodmakers exists to educate, connect, and mobilize leaders called to the shared work of cultural renewal.
Our Engines for Renewal
Goodmakers
Center for Cultural Renewal
Research, essays, papers, podcasts, videos, and toolkits with contributions from leading thinkers and practitioners in our Goodmakers Leadership Network, uniting people around a shared story with a cruciform vision of human flourishing.
We seek to inform leaders and decision-makers across sectors, including business, media, education, nonprofit, finance, religion, and athletics, as well as emerging leaders stepping into roles of influence.
Together, we can tell a better story that will become the foundation for the renewal of American culture.
Goodmakers Leadership Network
A cross-sector alliance of collaborative leaders in arts, media, business, education, religion, nonprofit, and more. Members participate in regional Strategic Leadership Summits, professional networking, leadership cohorts, and our annual national conference.
Meet our leaders.
Cultural Values Index
(Coming 2028)
A diagnostic and forecasting tool tracking shifts across nine key cultural value domains, based on rigorous sociological research.
Through annual national survey + quarterly briefs, the CVI provides leaders, institutions, and donors with actionable insights into emerging cultural trends and benchmarks for renewal.
