The many working as one for the good of all

The Civic Canopy is transforming the way we approach and solve pivotal issues in our society. We connect diverse groups of people seeking change in their communities and equip them with the tools to create meaningful and lasting impact.

What We Believe

Vision: To build a more just society where everyone belongs.
Mission: To create a culture of collaboration that drives transformative change.

What We Do

Our three part platform provides:

  • the shared technology that communities need to stay connected and share vital information;
  • the training and technical assistance that partners need to develop the skills to carry out collaborative work; and
  • the advocacy and engagement networks that we need in order to build a more just society where everyone belongs.

We currently work in 5 key areas
