OUR
PHILOSOPHY

Civis advances the common good by supporting root-cause advocacy, Arts & Letters initiatives, and spaces that foster awareness of and responsibility for our interdependent future.

Guided by a commitment to civic awareness and responsibility, we invest in work that aspires to demonstrate how turning encounters with the other into authentic relationships is foundational to a sustainable, just, and equitable society.

Civis believes that coalitions and partnerships create winning campaigns for meaningful societal change. By leveraging the unique strengths of private sector companies, government programs, and nonprofit organizations, we nurture an engaged and ethical democracy with a constant capacity to advance the common good for all. We pursue our work directly and in collaboration with others whose missions align with ours.
