Investing in Human Flourishing

Manifesto

We believe

A flourishing society is dynamic, resilient, and equitable.

According to Aristotle, human flourishing is the ability to live a good life.

Human flourishing promotes the growth, development, and holistic well-being of individuals and communities. It serves as a moral basis for what it means to be human. At the heart of this mission lies a vision inspired by St. Augustine’s concept of flourishing—beatitudo—a deeper form of happiness and fulfillment achieved by aligning one’s life with purpose. Augustine taught that true flourishing requires a commitment to justice, love, and community.
