About Us

Our Mission  

Civic Direct provides tools and services that build and nourish civic engagement networks of leaders, advocates, and investors.

A Platform for Building Civic Engagement Networks

Civic Direct uses the latest Web 2.0 (social networking) and Web 3.0 (semantic web) technologies to connect individuals and organizations to the issues and causes in which they care about most.  The Civic Direct platform allows you to:

• Subscribe to ever growing networks in which most of the key content and civic actions from around the web is aggregated in one spot.  For example, when one environmental group sends out an action alert to its members, all those concerned with the environment are able to respond.
• Build more impactful and sustained campaigns within networks that leverage interconnectedness.
• Connect you to the latest civic actions, civic jobs and civic grants to help you deliver on your passion for social change.  

What are Civic Actions?

Civic Actions include the wide range of participation in making change, from voting to volunteering, from blogging to podcasting, from investing money to donating time.   Civic Direct provides the platform to help you engage in civic action while networking with others to drive social change. 

Services to Organizations

We also offer paid strategic and technical services to organizations who want to use these tools within their own web presence.  Click here for more information.
