Mission
The mission of the Civic Leadership Project is to improve the capacity of communities, and especially their nonprofit organizations, to address the major social and economic challenges we face.
Program accomplishments
- DC Tutoring & Mentoring Initiative: The goal of DCTMI is to create a public campaign to get a volunteer tutor or mentor for the 2 out of 3 DC students reading below grade level (60,000+ students) or with other academic or non-academic needs -- but also to do something even bigger: Show that a community can work together around a shared civic and moral vision. We recruit and place volunteers with 50 partner tutoring and mentoring organizations and schools. The foundation for our work has been through volunteer canvassing at farmers markets and other public events and spaces. We also do outreach to religious congregations and employers, and use social media, virtual and in-person volunteer fairs and other approaches. We measure our results both in terms of short-term recruitment and long-term change in our civic culture. In 2024, more than 6,000 people signed up to volunteer or asked us to provide them with 2 or 3 concrete choices where they could volunteer based on when and where they were available.Expenses $603,426
- The Community Platform is a web-based and mobile-friendly application hosted by our nonprofit or university partner organizations. The goal is to provide locally-customable sites that permit nonprofits, funders, students and community members to map and understand where services are being delivered in relationship to community needs, share information and resources, and encourage people and businesses to become more involved as volunteers and donors. We continued to support four Community Platform sites in 2024.Expenses $122,756 · revenue $1,400
- Form 990 Online is a web-based system that permits nonprofit organizations and their preparers to create their IRS Form 990s online and either electronically file their return with the IRS or print them and mail them in. In 2024, the system was used by nearly 44,500 organizations and is completely free for 52% of them -- those organizations that reported less than $100,000 in revenue. In addition, we support state charity registrations in collaboration with the states of Hawaii, New York, and Michigan.Expenses $404,783 · revenue $1,157,100
- We continued development of our CivLead app, our Fitbit for Civic Change. The goal is to create a civic culture that promotes both community service (1-2 hours/week) and self-care (an hour a day is our target). By doing that, we believe we can expand the civic capacity of communities to tackle our major challenges, whether its helping low-income students or something else.Expenses $35,884
