Study what could be. Design what comes next.
Fund the Kotcher Civic Futures + Design Fellowship, a cross-partisan initiative that supports emerging leaders working at the intersection of community, education, public institutions, and civic life.
Fellows listen to communities, research local challenges, map systems, develop future scenarios, and turn what they learn into something useful—from civic-design prototypes and policy concepts to public-information resources, community-engagement models, and institutional solutions.
Your funding helps put the Fellowship to work.
Funding may support Fellow stipends, research, community listening, scenario planning, civic-design projects, educational materials, convenings, technology, project implementation, and the infrastructure required to operate and grow the Fellowship.
The Fellowship intentionally brings together people across political identities—including Democrats, Republicans, independents, minor-party members, politically unaffiliated people, and people who don't fit neatly into a traditional political category.
The objective isn't political agreement.
It's learning how to build together.
The Fellowship is inspired, in part, by the continuing life and service of Charles Kotcher and an ethos of service, relationships, discipline, responsibility, stewardship, and human flourishing.
A good future doesn't simply happen.
Somebody has to build it.
Fund a Fellow. Fund an idea. Fund what comes next.
KOTCHER CIVIC FUTURES + DESIGN
Cross-partisan by design. Civic by purpose. Future-facing by necessity.
