Jamestown Project at Yale
Funding will provide general operating support to the Jamestown Project.
Founded in 2005 and housed at the Yale University School of Law, the Jamestown Project at Yale (Jamestown) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan institute dedicated to improving the quantity and quality of democratic participation by advancing diverse new voices in the public discourse. The mission of the Jamestown Project is to create, articulate, promote, and implement new ideas for enriching American democracy. The Jamestown Project seeks to explore and address the increasing lack of interest and engagement of Americans in social justice and democracy through innovative scholarship, novel policy approaches, cutting-edge communications techniques and political action. Its cadre of public intellectuals is mostly composed of people of color who over the past year have been engaged in the national conversation on democratic participation.
