Big Funders Pour $56 Million Into Civics at a Fractured Moment | The Chronicle of Philanthropy

The long-planned pledges by the Bezos Family Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and Stand Together will expand civic learning and service opportunities and fund a network of groups that’s been quietly growing for more than a decade. The money will go to traditional civics education, like curriculum and instruction in K-12 schools as well as higher education. But it will also fund work to engage young people in community and government work and teach what can be done through civic action.
