Why Carnegie?

Carnegie is committed to reducing political polarization in the United States and enhancing the country’s standing internationally through nonpartisan support for education, democracy, and world peace. We do this by sharing fact-based information and knowledge, fostering community and civic engagement, cultivating trust in public institutions and practices, and facilitating meaningful interactions that bring together people of every background and political ideology.
