About Dispatch Network
Dispatch Network builds infrastructure for civic participation and nonprofit capacity.
Communities contain people who want to help and organizations doing important work. Too often, however, those people and organizations have difficulty finding one another—and valuable knowledge, resources, opportunities, and organizational capacity remain fragmented. Dispatch Network exists to help close those gaps.
We develop interconnected programs, tools, and resources that make it easier for people to learn, participate, collaborate, and contribute—and for mission-driven organizations to strengthen their ability to serve their communities.
Our Mission
Dispatch Network strengthens civic life by connecting people, organizations, knowledge, and opportunities for meaningful community engagement and impact.
Our Approach
Learn
Civic participation begins with understanding.
Engage
Knowledge becomes meaningful when people have accessible ways to put it into action.
Respect
Strong civic communities depend on peaceful engagement, respectful collaboration, and the ability to work across differences.
Featured Initiative
