Fostering innovation and solutions to empower communities and create lasting impact.
About American Collaboratory
American Collaboratory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization born out of a Kauffman Foundation-funded initiative at Johns Hopkins University. This initiative, the Bmore Collab, laid the groundwork for our mission to foster innovation, equity, and resilience in communities across the United States. By building on this foundation of research, collaboration, and community-driven action, we empower individuals and organizations to create meaningful change.
