With this initiative the Teagle Foundation supports efforts to prepare students to become informed and engaged participants in the civic life of their local and national communities. The Foundation seeks ambitious projects that confront gaps in undergraduates' civic knowledge and prepares them for the intellectual demands of democratic participation. Successful proposals will seek to promote learning about the formation of the American republic, the crafting of its Constitution, the history of contention over the interpretation of the Constitution, the development of representative political structures, and the principles of democracy.  The Foundation encourages institutions to build on these themes across their curriculum and to invite deeper academic inquiry on critical issues that vex our local and national communities.

Priority will be given to proposals designed to reach a significant proportion, if not all, of the undergraduate student body and that infuse civic education across the curriculum. While the Foundation will accept applications that cross or go beyond the following areas, The Education for American Civic Life Initiative is focused on funding in three particular areas:


*         Knowledge for Freedom - programs that invite underserved high school students to study humanity's deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility;

  *   Big Questions & Coherent Answers - programs that are anchored by a significant question concerning the past and present challenges of the community in which the college or university is located; and
  *   Professional Development - programs that build professional development opportunities for faculty focused on the knowledge and skills they need to give undergraduates a comprehensive civic education.


All proposals must address sustainability, assessment, and dissemination. Awards will range from $100,000-$400,000 over a 24-36 month period.
