Donate to the Civility Initiative

The Civility Initiative Fund promotes healthy dialogue and debate across differences on campus and in community. We host public events, sponsor research talks, and lead workshops for faculty, staff, and students to teach constructive disagreement.

At the Civility Initiative, we turn division into dialogue. Through nationally recognized speakers, we demonstrate why bridging differences matters now more than ever. By convening leading scholars, we share the latest research on how communities build trust and connection. And through our innovative curriculum and hands-on workshops in dialogue, debate, and civic communication, we give participants practical tools to navigate disagreement with skill and care.
