Foundation for Social Connection Releases Inaugural ‘State of the US Ecosystem Report’

Feb 11, 2026

The State of the US Ecosystem Report offers a field-level perspective on the current health of the US SILC ecosystem. The report draws on survey responses from more than 60 entities working across sectors, roles, and geographies, reflecting the collective perspectives of those actively engaged in this work.

The report focuses on:

• How entities perceive the ecosystem’s strengths
• Challenges they face in advancing social connection
• Gaps in populations, geographies, roles, or levels of influence
• Resources and supports needed to strengthen the field over time

This inaugural report serves as a baseline, providing a shared reference point for understanding where the ecosystem stands today and how it may evolve in the future.

The report is available for free by filling out this form.
