To replace political fighting with collaborative problem-solving by reducing political polarization, teaching civic skills, and creating experiences that enable Americans to work together on shared goals.
Unify America’s latest reported grant was a $30,598,962 transfer of funds to the Civic Problem Solving Endowment in Denver, a scale that matches its stated aim of replacing political fighting with collaborative problem-solving. The foundation’s mission centers on reducing political polarization, teaching civic skills, and creating experiences that help Americans work together on shared goals. That framing places deliberative democracy and community problem-solving at the center of its grantmaking rather than general civic philanthropy. The foundation’s support is tied to civic engagement, civic education, and bridge-building across political divides, with a clear interest in programs that build participation and shared decision-making. Its beneficiary groups include everyday voters, young people, college and university students, and cross-partisan participants. In the recent grants data, the Denver recipient shows a large-scale commitment to structures intended to support civic problem-solving, while the broader focus areas point to work that combines direct service with civic skills training and multi-stakeholder engagement. Unify America’s giving is regional in scope and concentrated outside its headquarters state.
In deliberative democracy, Unify America backs work that creates structured experiences for people to solve problems together. The recent grant to the Civic Problem Solving Endowment was listed as a transfer of funds, aligning with the foundation’s emphasis on collaborative problem-solving. Its focus on political polarization reduction sits alongside civic engagement and civic education, suggesting an interest in both attitudes and skills. The foundation also supports youth and higher-education civic programming, including college and university students, which fits its stated aim of teaching civic skills. Cross-partisan engagement is another clear thread, with programs designed for participants from across the political spectrum. Across these areas, the foundation’s grantmaking points toward direct program delivery and capacity building rather than one-off charitable relief.
