Our Partners in Civic Engagement

On behalf of everyone at the Observing Civic Engagement (OCE) Lab, we extend our deepest gratitude to the generous foundations and institutional partners whose support makes our work possible.

Your investment in rigorous research on civic participation and community engagement empowers us to accomplish the following:

  • Collect and analyze data that informs policy, advocacy, and public understanding of democratic practice.
  • Train the next generation of scholars and practitioners through hands‑on research opportunities.
  • Build bridges between the university and the communities we study, ensuring that our findings have real‑world impact.

Because of your commitment, we can shine a light on how citizens engage with their government, identify barriers to participation, and develop strategies to foster a more inclusive democracy. Thank you for believing in our mission and for standing with us as we work toward a more engaged, equitable society.

We look forward to sharing our findings with you and to continuing our partnership in the months and years ahead.

With sincere appreciation,
The OCE Lab Team
