About Civica Initiatives

Civica Initiatives is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering people and strengthening democratic institutions.

We support under-resourced communities trying to improve society through changes in public policy. By sharing staff, consultants, and vendors, we make it possible for a small group of people to change the world. That makes us stronger together.

Civica Initiatives believes in the power of diversity, the importance of inclusivity, and the need to achieve equity for all. We strive to reflect those beliefs and values in our work. 

Our Method

At Civica Initiatives, innovation drives our approach.  

The initiatives are led by staff committed to specific missions. They, in turn, are supported by senior staff who are experts in developing and implementing ambitious strategies. Together, we draw on top consultants and vendors who provide services across our initiatives.  

Our program capacity is matched by our commitment to operational success. Many small organizations struggle to hire experts in their fields and to build and maintain their internal systems. By sharing operational responsibilities across our initiatives, we remove that burden from the program staff and decrease costs.  

Real-World Experience

The Civica Initiatives team is made up of experts who have a record of success. 

We have led local, national, and international advocacy efforts, impacting policies big and small. 

In advancing those goals, we have raised tens of millions of dollars, enabling us to garner extensive media coverage, run digital marketing campaigns, and stage conferences, panel discussions, and recognition events. Most importantly, we have organized stakeholders into effective movements and empowered them to engage policymakers.  

Stakeholders are Key

Each of our initiatives places stakeholders at the center of our efforts, especially those directly affected by our work. We build and engage advisory groups, fostering collaborative decision-making. Additionally, we organize coalitions and work with government champions to advance our goals.
