The Carey Institute for Global Good is an independent American nonprofit organization whose mission is to make a "better world by contributing to a strong, educated, and just society.
"[1] Through its programs in nonfiction, sustainable communities, arts and music, and education, the Institute strives to bring together innovative and dynamic people from around the world to seek creative solutions to the most pressing challenges of the day.
[3] The roots of the Carey Institute go back to 1924, when Laura Talmage Huyck convened "Country Forums on Human Relations" at her home as a reaction to the carnage of World War I.
The campus in Rensselaerville would later hold meetings of international diplomats convened by UN Secretary General U Thant.
[citation needed] When William P. Carey purchased the campus in 2012, his dream was to re-establish the original spirit of dynamic inquiry to empower people to make informed decisions that can create meaningful change in the world.
