Our Mission
Revisioning the World for the Common Good
The John Cobb Legacy Fund is the Planned Giving Program created by the Center for Process Studies, the Cobb Institute, and the Institute for Ecological Civilization (EcoCiv) to further the work that Dr. Cobb began and inspired. EcoCiv serves as Trustee of the Fund on behalf of member charities.
At the broadest level, the Fund works for the common good by supporting organizations that expand the wellbeing of people and planet, transform human views of life and the world into one of interrelatedness, meaning, and cooperation, and promote holistic approaches in all spheres of human life that nourish the flourishing of all.
Our Charities:
- Help local leaders develop just and compassionate communities
- Educate people about process and relational ways of understanding our cosmos
- Advance the dialogue in science and religion
- Convene community development toward ecological civilization
- Foster interfaith and interspiritual conversations
- Develop theological education and resources for faith communities in process-relational ways of understanding matters of ultimate concern
- Conduct and promote scholarship to advance understanding of the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and put that philosophy to work in the world for the common good
