Emerson Collective is an organization focused on education, immigration reform, the environment, media and journalism, and health. Founded by billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the collective, which operates under a limited liability company (LLC) model, uses philanthropy, impact investing, advocacy, and community engagement as tools to broadly spur change in the United States and abroad. The organization is considered to be one of the leading groups engaged in philanthrocapitalism. One of its most high-profile acquisitions was its majority interest in The Atlantic magazine in 2017.
