Sparking Civic Engagement

Strengthening Public Policy, Communities, and Voter Participation

An informed, active public is key to a vibrant democracy. When people are engaged in our democracy and civic life, access to economic opportunity and upward mobility increases for all. Support for good governance, evidence-based public policy, local journalism and community-organizing all help ensure the strength and vitality of every community and our state.

• We support efforts that help educate, energize, and engage residents, students and families toward the access, resources and power needed to choose their own futures.
• We invest in current and future public policy leadership development.
• We value organizations and efforts that rely upon evidence-based research and reliable data to expand opportunity and inclusion.
