The Civic Tech Field Guide is led by its Curator, Matt Stempeck. The project’s mission is to effectively grow the field of civic tech. We have many challenges facing democracies and the world at large, and it’s our belief that we need more people contributing more productively to improving things. This belief drives our core values of:
A global perspective, as we can all learn from others’ work.
Making our resources as available as possible through open source code, open data licensing, and strong accessibility.
Inclusively pointing to helpful resources others have created, even and especially if they could be seen as competitors.
Providing an often missing archival memory of the field, so we can learn from our past mistakes and get better at what we do, rather than brush failures under the carpet.
