Trilith Foundation

What Trilith Foundation does

Trilith Foundation is a private nonprofit organization (legal entity: Trilith Foundation, Inc.) headquartered at 305 Trilith Parkway, Fayetteville, Georgia, with 11–50 employees. Its stated mission is "to enrich the lives of creatives who inspire the world," and it operates exclusively within the Trilith creative campus — an integrated development anchored by Trilith Studios (North America's largest purpose-built film studio campus), Trilith Live (an entertainment complex combining theater, live game-show soundstages, concert venue, and church facilities), and the Town at Trilith mixed-use area. The foundation targets five overlapping customer segments: professional creatives and athletes in Georgia, K-12 and university student groups, Trilith Studios production crews and vendors, the general public interested in human flourishing, and Georgia-based creative professionals seeking mental health support.

The foundation's product portfolio falls into three layers. The experiential layer comprises five core paid experiences — Studio Tour Experience ($30/educational student rate), Trilith Live Backstage Experience Tour, Bike Experience, Art Experience (self-guided palette-map scavenger hunt), and Educational Experience — plus sub-products including the Bike Trilith Series, Live Conversations Series, Masterclass Series, and the badge-holders-only Studio 6B wellness lounge. The wellness layer includes the $500 Mental Health Subsidy (funded by donations), the Crisis Care Program, and a curated Enrichment Resources network of partner providers covering mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health. The content layer consists of the Human Flourishing Field Guide (a five-week curriculum with six companion videos) and the Artist & Speakers Bureau. Annual programming is anchored by the Flourishing Summit (inaugural edition September 2025, second edition scheduled September 2026), which convenes researchers from Harvard's Human Flourishing Program, Baylor's Institute for Global Human Flourishing, and Gallup — all co-leads of the $43.4M Global Flourishing Study spanning 200,000 participants across 22 countries.

Trilith Foundation generates revenue through four streams: paid experience ticket sales (direct-to-consumer self-serve via trilithfoundation.org plus group bookings via [email protected]), tiered donations ($500 to $20,000+) that fund specific programs such as mental health subsidies and crisis care, the Flourishing Summit (General Admission $150, VIP $250, plus group rates), and retail merchandise (Art Experience palette maps sold through The Funky Shack at Trilith, plus a separate merch shop). Distribution is omnichannel but hyper-local — self-serve web booking, on-site Bike Hub retail, group sales email outreach, badge-holder-only Studio 6B access, and retail partner storefronts — all concentrated in a single metro area. Leadership is held by Executive Director Tia Miller and Flourishing Lead Krissy Lewis; the organization is privately funded via donations and has no external venture or institutional investment.
