WEAVE, a social fabric project
Founded by New York Times columnist David Brooks in 2018, WEAVE: The Social Fabric Project is an initiative of the Aspen Institute working to address America’s crisis of broken trust and social fragmentation. Born out of a national listening tour and guided by a deeply relational ethos, WEAVE exists to support people who prioritize connection, community, and belonging in their daily lives.
From neighborhood leaders and faith organizers to barbers, coaches, and volunteers, WEAVE uplifts these “weavers”—people who stitch their communities together through acts of trust and care. WEAVE supports them through storytelling, skill-building, funding, and connection, helping foster a culture that values relationships as much as results.
