The foundation primarily funds small, individual awards and memorial prizes tied to public deliberation and civic teaching. Grants are given as named legacy or memorial awards (Taylor Willingham Legacy Fund; Libby Kingseed Teaching With Deliberation Memorial Award), supporting individual educators or civic practitioners rather than institutions. Funding is modest and targeted, likely to recognize or seed work in deliberative practice and teaching.
A small, tightly focused program of modest cash awards to individual recipients; a mix of repeat payments to past awardees and one-off prizes rather than broad institutional grants.
