Featured Primer

SOCIAL COHESION PRIMER

The Social Cohesion Primer plots 18 distinct efforts supporting the concept of social cohesion (broadly defined) by goal, scale, and type. The “coordinates” in the ecosystem include efforts like combating dis-information, countering extremism and hate, fostering belonging, supporting conflict resolution, and advancing interfaith cooperation.

More Primers

civic engagement primer

The Civic Engagement Primer helps funders answer questions like: What is civic engagement? How does it relate to my work, and how might I get started? The tool is intended for funders of all experience levels, and is accompanied by three PDF resources, illustrating important definitions and the spectrum of activities that fall under the umbrella of civic engagement.

Civic LEARNING PRIMER

Effective civic learning is key to providing our nation’s young people with the knowledge and skills they need to be effective citizens. The Civic Learning Primer lays the groundwork of definitions and fundamental values of civic education, including a series of promising practices.

DEMOCRACY PRIMER

The Democracy Primer is designed to explore the question What is Democracy? Articulating the distinction between democracy as both a practice and a system, the resource charts a list of civic practices across 5 elements of healthy democracies, accompanied by a glossary to illustrate each of its terms.
