2: Civic Participation and Domestic and International Issues

Promote civic participation and domestic and international projects

Other Information:

In addition to the focus on Media and Democracy, Arca Foundation grants are made strategically to various organizations presenting the ability to promote equity, accountability, social justice, and a participatory democracy. At the core of our grant-making endeavors is the belief that the complex policies of the day demand vigorous public education and debate, promoting citizens’ engagement throughout all levels of society. Reflecting this belief, the Arca Foundation continues making grants promoting civic participation and domestic and international projects, comprising approximately two-thirds of our philanthropic efforts. The domestic and international projects we support range from advancing dialogue and diplomacy in the Americas and troubled regions of the world to supporting efforts to promote government transparency, oversight and accountability. Through our focus on civic participation, we support projects working towards expanding non-partisan voter registration, election protection, and non-partisan get-out-the-vote initiatives. Our focus areas are linked as our comprehensive and integrated grantmaking efforts promote a more informed and active citizenry working towards social change.
