  • Summary

  • As Election Day approaches, the importance of voting is at the forefront of many conversations.

    Today, we’re taking a closer look at the concept of civic health and how data—from voting rates to social trust—can reveal a lot about the strengths and challenges our communities face.

    We’ll also discuss how nonprofits can help promote civic health without stepping into partisan territory.
