Social Liberty Foundation
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.
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.
Alternative models of governance, property, and community are worth taking seriously on their own terms, examined with the same rigor as the status quo.
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.
Beyond our own publishing, we aim to support other nonprofits doing aligned educational and civic work, rather than treating them as competitors.
The foundation is newly formed. A few programs are already underway; others are still in development — we'll share updates here as they launch.
A monthly public talk and book group discussion on topics in social structures, governance models, and civic life — free to attend, recorded, and posted publicly.
Ongoing upkeep of the Social Liberty website and feeds, plus allied information sites working in this space (transparentcities.org, on40.org, greenspacesbayarea.org, greenspacesmv.org, and others).
A planned stipend program funding independent researchers to complete and publish research on alternative social and community structures.
A planned part-time or full-time staff role to support day-to-day foundation operations as the organization grows.
