Supporting civic participation to create vibrant, engaged democracies between elections.

Healthy democracies require active and engaged citizens. This is why a global consortium of democracy organizations is asking governments to establish Democratic Action Funds and dedicate five percent of the cost of running their national and local elections to support civic dialogue and deliberation each year.

Democratic Action Funds provide the resources to create a more engaged public by unlocking hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to help solve policy challenges.
