Core values
We approach our work and our mission in the same way.
Every decision is filtered through its impact on civic participation. If it doesn't serve the mission — for citizens, across every party and district — we don't do it.
We tell the truth about what the platform does, what it doesn't do, and what it still has to get right. A civic platform cannot afford intellectual dishonesty at any level.
We own the outcome, not the ticket. If something ships and it isn't right, we fix it. The public good is treated as a personal responsibility on both teams.
The mission is bigger than any of us. We hold our assumptions loosely, invite scrutiny, and learn from the communities we serve rather than presuming to know what they need.
A platform built for all citizens has to be built by people who reflect that breadth. Diverse perspectives are an operating requirement for a nonpartisan organization, not a goal.
The work is hard. The moment is urgent. We push — on the problem, the timeline, and ourselves — without waiting for conditions to be easier. Both teams show up for both.
Civic leadership roles.
The Foundation is intentionally lean — high trust, long time horizons, and decisions made at the level closest to the work.
If you don't see a role that fits but believe you belong here, the instructions below explain how to make the case.
Lead the Foundation's strategic direction, oversee operations, and serve as its primary representative to civic organizations, government partners, academic institutions, and the public.
Build and manage the Foundation's network of civic organizations, government agencies, and nonpartisan institutions — identifying opportunities for collaboration that extend the platform's reach and impact.
Manage the Foundation's grants program from application through evaluation — ensuring resources flow to organizations that meaningfully advance civic participation and access.
Monitor the legislative and regulatory landscape affecting civic technology, voter access, and AI governance — advising Foundation leadership and helping shape the platform's compliance posture.
Lead the Foundation's public voice — translating a complex mission into clear, trustworthy communication for civic partners, funders, the press, and the general public.
Design and execute the Foundation's civic impact research agenda — measuring outcomes, publishing findings, and ensuring the platform's effect on civic participation is rigorously documented.
