CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

Informed People. Strong Communities. Lifelong Civic Engagement.

SHAPING COMMUNITIES

Millions of people are working hard every day for their communities, behind the scenes and in public leadership roles. Nonpartisan civic engagement programs are preparing Americans, starting at a young age and continuing across a lifetime, so that more people can hold positions of leadership, run for elected office, and serve their community in positive, meaningful ways.

 

Crimsonbridge invests in nonpartisan civic engagement to help create more opportunities for effective leadership and more resources to address barriers facing Americans who want to participate in civic life.

NONPARTISAN CIVIC EDUCATION

Since 2018, Crimsonbridge has partnered with nonpartisan organizations to build civic engagement opportunities. In 2026, we expanded this work to include nonpartisan civic education organizations building civic knowledge and skills for students and teachers in K-12. Organizations are scaling states’ capacity to teach nonpartisan civic skills in elementary, middle, and high school, and through these partnerships, civic engagement becomes a set of real skills that people can use across a lifetime.

COMMUNITIES NEED LEADERS. LEADERS NEED COMMUNITY.

Crimsonbridge Foundation partners with national organizations to expand opportunities for civic engagement across a lifetime, from elementary school through professional careers and beyond. We focus on:
