Expand the Reach of the First Amendment Foundation

The First Amendment Foundation believes that government openness and transparency are critical to citizen trust and involvement in our democratic society – without Government in the Sunshine, civic engagement cannot bloom. Through ongoing monitoring of the state’s public records and open meeting laws, and the education of government officials and the citizens they serve, the Foundation promotes the public’s constitutional right to oversee and to participate in the governance process.

We want to expand our reach and educational programs to equip a younger generation with the tools necessary to participate in the government decision-making process. More specifically, we hope to expand our space to make room for more legal interns and increase our education initiatives specifically for high school students. By extending our reach, we can ensure that young adults are not only aware of the critical role of open government to participatory democracy but also prepared to make their voices heard and hold their officials accountable. 

Please consider donating to our foundation. Any and all donations are very much appreciated.
