Our Mission
Einhorn Collaborative is a foundation dedicated to advancing the science and practice of social connection and social cohesion to address America’s growing crisis of distrust and division.
If we could help people across different backgrounds and perspectives engage openly and respectfully, empathize, and seek to understand the other person’s point of view, we would then discover our common ground and mutual understanding.
