Everyone Deserves a Fair Shot at Wellbeing

The Full Frame Initiative was founded in 2009 to make the U.S. a country where everyone has a fair shot at wellbeing – the needs and experiences essential to weather challenges and have health and hope. We partnered with communities, government and organizations to shift narratives, surface new solutions and create durable transformation. In 2025, we transitioned our mission to our network of champions and allies – because a fair shot at wellbeing was always bigger than FFI.

Wellbeing Resources for Changemakers

Our Resource Library represents 15+ years of learning, impact and insights for building a country where everyone has a fair shot at wellbeing. Before sunsetting, we updated many of our signature tools, frameworks and reports and released them under a Creative Commons license to ensure the work continues to evolve and grow.

Why Wellbeing?

All of us share a drive to feel whole, individually and collectively. Our health, hope and resilience depend on experiencing this feeling of wholeness, or wellbeing. While our drive for wellbeing is universal, we don’t all have a fair shot at it. But we can change this. Get started by exploring the foundational frameworks behind FFI’s work and our Wellbeing Bootcamp.

Get Grounded in Wellbeing

A fair shot at wellbeing is a way forward that moves us away from just technical solutions. It taps into our moral imagination of who we are as communities, families and individuals — creatures of a “we” beyond just people.
