investing in spaces projects and people to build joyful civic engagement. The Civic Space Foundation was created to invest in joyful civic projects and lay the groundwork for the new town hall around the United States. Healthy vibrant communities need high quality spaces for civic gathering to meet ones elected officials learn about the issues of the day and to be the starting point to getting involved. Inspired by Mannys a civic gathering and event space in San Francisco the Civic Space Foundation is a response to the growing need for people to come together in person get civically involved in their communities and support creative civic gathering spaces in the tough economic times after the pandemic.
