CIRCLE (The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement) supports research on the civic engagement of young Americans.

CIRCLE funds research, not practice. However, all CIRCLE-funded research should have implications for specified categories of practitioners such as legislators, candidates, teachers, educational administrators, youth-serving organizations, journalists, professional associations, or nonprofits that work to encourage youth voting and political participation.

CIRCLE is not accepting grant requests at this time. A list of our grants to date is on this page.
