For builders
We support those building tools and infrastructure needed to improve our democratic systems by:
- Identifying urgently needed, high impact products and their infrastructure requirements
- Connecting them with a wider ecosystem of builders and practitioners to accelerate that work
- Routing resources towards high-impact builders

The Deliberation and Technology Network
The Deliberation and Technology Network (“DelibTech” network), which we co-organize with DemocracyNext, is a global network of technologists, practitioners, and experts who are building, studying, and using technology to enhance deliberation and to create digital infrastructure for deliberative democracy. Among other goals, the network aims to increase learning and R&D feedback loops between those building and using deliberative tools.
Deliberative Tools Access Program
We support access to deliberative tools to enable organizations and independent researchers to experiment, learn, and contribute to a progressively more robust ecosystem of deliberative tools.
