Common Ground Institute (CGI)

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2021 to help bridge interpersonal, social, and political divides, and create a more unified and compassionate society. We are committed to resolving conflicts, promoting dialogue, and building stronger, more resilient communities through education, mediation and advocacy. Our mission is to foster relational understanding of human existence that nurtures moral interconnection, promotes collaborative problem-solving, and recognizes our mutual dependence.


We aim to transcend divisions of radical individualism and collectivism for a more unified and compassionate society. CGI emphasizes the importance of active listening, perspective- taking, and collaborative problem-solving to move beyond conflict and foster social cohesion. This approach helps prevent marginalization and promotes social integration.
