Redefine
what’s possible
Too often, the people closest to the challenges are left out of the solutions. We’re changing that.
We break barriers to bring civil society and social innovators into global development efforts and propel progress.
About CIVIC
We scale people-driven innovation for global impact.
CIVIC is a community of problem-solvers—from civil society leaders to social innovators, businesses, multilaterals, and governments—working together to redefine global development.
We connect local changemakers with the right financing, networks, and insights to help their solutions grow. By breaking silos and bridging ecosystems, we transform how development happens, making it more collaborative, effective, and people-centered.
