A community-centered foundation that brings people together to explore, address, and advance solutions.
The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread
For 65 years, we’ve brought together leaders from our home in Racine, Wisconsin, and across the globe who have sought inspiration and action.
We bring people together because we believe we are at our best when we come together—that’s when progress can take flight.
While much of our work happens at the historic Wingspread property—a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright—our collaborative efforts extend throughout our community and all of southeastern Wisconsin.
As a convener of critical conversations and incubator for ideas, we help raise visibility and increase participation around solutions, and we partner with organizations as needed to support progress here at home and around the world.
Our Current Initiative
At The Johnson Foundation at Wingspread, we believe everyone deserves access to opportunities that lead to well-being and economic security. Yet for many, this is not their reality. Our current initiative is focused on changing that.
Our 7-Step Convening Process
Our unique convening model ensures that our conferences inspire solutions with sustained impact.
Wingspread Retreat and Executive Conference Center
