The School for Moral Ambition is a Dutch non-profit foundation cofounded, in 2024, by the author Rutger Bregman, Harald Dunnink, Jan-Willem van Putten, Julia van Boven and Ruben Timmerman. [1] [2]

Contents

Bregman’s most recent book, Moral Ambition, challenges conventional career success metrics (such as high salaries and prestigious titles) and urges professionals to redirect their talents toward addressing pressing global issues like climate change, inequality, and pandemics. [3] [4] [5]

Bregman stated he is legally bound to donate all proceeds from the book to this non-profit foundation. Bregman also stated that he has stepped down from the board of the foundation, and no longer has direct control over spending decisions, to avoid any conflict of interest. [6]
