What can I do with the Field Guide?

Learn

Browse the wide world of civic tech and tech for public interest. You can browse by tech platform, career and funding opportunities, or specific social issues. Explore the world map to find projects in your area. Check out our exclusive research on the growth of the field, patterns of failure, and impact measurement.

Add your project(s)

We try to create listings at the project level. So if your organization makes three different things, we’ll make a page for each so people can find exactly what they’re looking for.

Claim your project(s)

If your project is already in the Field Guide, you can claim your listing(s). This will put us in touch so we can make sure the listing accurately represents your project(s).

Get a contact form

We’re rolling out contact forms to listing pages on an opt-in basis. Now, when one of our 50,000 unique monthly visitors comes across your work, they can quickly get in touch with your organization. The contact form routes messages directly to an email address of your choosing, and includes a CAPTCHA form to prevent spam.

You can sign up for a free contact form if you’re a non-profit, government, or indie project. If you’re a B corp or other type of for-profit business, you can unlock lead generation forms with a small donation here.

Curate a category

As you’ll see on the Guide homepage, we have hundreds of subcategories of civic tech. Are you an expert on participatory budgeting? Do you know all about the various SMS advocacy tools on the market? We’ll promote you as the curator of a section in exchange for you sharing new links when you see them. Just drop us a note at info @ civictech.guide.

Subscribe to the civic tech calendars

We track major civic tech conferences and upcoming deadlines for funding and fellowship opportunities. You can subscribe to the community calendar with your regular calendar app to follow along for valuable opportunities and events.

You can share opportunities with others emailing calendar invitations to info @ civictech.guide.
