Civics Prize Application

Please provide a brief overview of the project you are submitting and explain why you think it is a fit for the Civics Prize, based on what you've read about State Policy Network and our work.

"Innovation” is a broad term with many different interpretations. Here’s what “innovation” means to us:

- A new idea or approach that others have not considered or tried

- Combining existing ideas or resources in a way that leads to a new idea or approach that others have not considered or tried

- A significant improvement on an existing idea or process.

Please describe how your organization’s work and/or this project is innovative in advancing civic literacy and understanding of America's founding principles. Are there other organizations engaged in similar work and how do you distinguish your work from those?

Which states will be impacted and why?

How can others who are facing similar challenges benefit from the work you are doing? Even if your organization does not plan to expand beyond your local area, what would someone else be able to learn from you that would help them replicate your success elsewhere?
