Overview

Mission

The purposes of the corporation are to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation in government and to act on selected governmental issues, and to provide the citizens of Indianapolis and Marion County with opportunities to learn about local, state, and national governmental issues in a balanced and nonpartisan manner through public discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures, publications or other similar programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

We provided free nonpartisan voter registration trainings to the community. We shared nonpartisan informational materials related to voting and helped over 2k citizens become registered voters. We also supported a nonpartisan "Voting Advocate" program in high schools and had students share nonpartisan voting information with their peers.
