Weave: The Social Fabric Project

Weave: The Social Fabric Project was founded by New York Times columnist and author David Brooks and is housed at the Aspen Institute. Weave supports individuals who are actively fostering trust, connection, and belonging in their communities—people we call “Weavers.” Acting as a backbone organization, Weave empowers these grassroots trust-brokers through resources, storytelling, and initiatives like the Weaver Awards, amplifying their efforts to heal societal divides and strengthen the social fabric.

At its core, Weave addresses the critical issue of broken social trust that has left Americans divided, isolated, and unable to tackle shared challenges. Without trust, we cannot achieve individual happiness and equity, build resilient communities, or sustain a healthy democracy. By identifying and supporting those quietly working to reconnect America’s communities, Weave is helping to bridge divides and create a more unified, compassionate society.

Weave works in three ways:

• We support the people (“weavers”) who are spreading trust and tackling important issues in their neighborhoods by providing them with resources and connection to a community of other weavers.

• We lift up these often under-appreciated trust builders to be seen as resources and leaders of community change.

• We inspire new generations of weavers.
