Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission:Our vision is a thriving, free, and civilized society that respects and defends individual dignity, supports thriving families and communities, values civil discourse, and promotes a culture of freedom. This is a society where every person from an early age has the opportunity to be the hero of their own story. A civilized society rests on the foundations of classical virtues. Courage. The pursuit of truth. Prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. These are the tools that unleash human flourishing and underpin a noble, civilized society. How do we get there? By telling the story of civilization. Aspirational stories are humanity's best tool for modeling the virtues that empower people to reach their potential. They light the path for us to follow on our individual journeys. They inspire us to reach for the stars. Heroic stories nourish our culture today and for generations to come. When stories help us realize our true potential, we discover the universal human dignity in us all and become champions of civilization so that each of us can flourish. Through heroic storytelling that embodies classical virtues and moves our audience to purposeful action, our mission at Emergent Order Foundation is to build a bottom-up movement that champions civilization and the potential it unlocks in each of us.
