“Communities sustain life - not nuclear families, or the 'couple,' and certainly not the rugged individualist.  There is no better place to learn the art of loving than in community.”  

-Bell Hooks, All About Love

The Modern Family Institute seeks to bring about a world where families and relationships are defined by their function, not their form. Yet today, many people struggle to form communities of care in ways that work for them because our society 's laws, norms, and infrastructure are designed for monogamous, nuclear families. That's where you come in. By supporting Modern Family institute, you help to create a world where everyone has a flourishing community of care, regardless of their family of origin or legal status. Thank you for helping us make that dream a reality!
