Advancing the Next Generation of Civil Society Assistance

About this grant

The project goal is to help funders, policymakers and civic activists understand and respond to the diverse forces shaping civic space and civic activism. To this end, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will expand membership in its two key networks, the civic research network and the digital democracy network; convene workshops and international meetings; publish reports and articles; and brief funders, practitioners and policymakers on key trends and dynamics. During 2020-2023, the grantee generated knowledge in the form of articles and reports and created linkages between the research, practice and policy domains through online and in-person workshops and briefings. Established in 1910 in Washington, D.C. with a gift from Andrew Carnegie, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States.
