STRENGTHENING CIVIC SPACES

Overview

Strong civic spaces are the foundation of a healthy democracy. They are where people come together—across differences—to listen, collaborate, and lead. Through The Civic Exchange, we spotlight nonprofit organizations that are revitalizing community dialogue, building bridges between divided groups, and empowering local leadership. These efforts create the connective tissue that allows communities to solve problems, make decisions, and thrive together. By supporting this focus area, donors help foster inclusive spaces where civic life can flourish from the ground up.
