The World Café Community Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit. Its mission is to "transform the world for the benefit of all life through convening and supporting collaborative conversation world-wide. On a practical level, [the] Foundation is responsible for ensuring the ongoing accessibility, integrity, vitality, and evolution of the World Café as a vehicle for social innovation and positive change."
