Our Approach
Our Mission
To connect government and the civic tech ecosystem to tackle problems that no one can solve alone.
Our Vision
We believe in a people-centered, digitally-enabled government for all.
How We Lead
We equip government, nonprofit, academia and philanthropic partners with practical support through research, training, convenings, and community-building. Our work helps practitioners break down silos, share what works, and drive collective progress toward people-centered services.
We design around people’s real experiences—whether they’re a parent applying for child care, an individual navigating unemployment for the first time, or a state employee delivering services. Our work begins with listening and co-creating solutions that are useful, practices that are responsive, and policies that are workable.
