Civic Engagement
Community Resource Center (CRC) believes that civic engagement is a critical component of empowering our nonprofit partners to identify and address community needs. We work to build the capacity of nonprofits and community groups to strengthen their civic engagement efforts and advance community-centered policy. These efforts are always nonpartisan, and we hold nonpartisanship as a core value of our work.
CRC has been supporting nonprofits to integrate voter engagement and community-centered policy for over 10 years. In partnership with direct service nonprofits and policy groups, CRC has created permanent infrastructure for year-round convenings and connection to local, state and national civic engagement resources. CRC actively provides nonprofits with ongoing training and relationship building with policy groups that are needed to move their advocacy work forward.
Root Causes Network
CRC creates formal and ongoing spaces that break down silos and facilitate relationship building between nonprofits and policy/organizing groups that strengthen civic engagement efforts and advance community-centered policy.
CRC also connects nonprofits with statewide resources, provides tailored training opportunities and builds nonprofit capacity to offer voter registration and nonpartisan ballot education to directly reach traditionally disenfranchised populations.
Civic Engagement Resources
CRC’s Civic Engagement Resource Library curates tailored materials to support community-driven policy work and nonpartisan voter engagement efforts. We connect nonprofits with national, state, and local civic engagement resources, including Count Me In’s nonpartisan ballot education tools, and help organizations identify civic engagement funding opportunities to strengthen and sustain their work.
