CMF Works at the Retail Level of Democracy

by CMF on April 06, 2023

For more than 45 years, CMF has been working behind the scenes and mostly out of the spotlight to help Congress improve its operations, retain its best staffers, and strengthen its relationships with all it represents. We are the only nonpartisan nonprofit with 100% of its resources dedicated to improving Congress. Our approach enables us to maintain the respect of both Republicans and Democrats, one of the only organizations in the U.S. with that kind of bipartisan credibility.

In 2022, our focus was on revitalizing and modernizing democracy through two major initiatives: (1) supporting the creation, adoption, and implementation of recommendations of the House Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress; and (2) developing and launching the Citizen Advocacy Academy, the first online, on-demand training program for advocates.

These efforts, described in more detail on the following pages, are designed to repair the connection and deepen engagement between Congress and the People. In 2023, CMF plans to continue rebuilding trust in Congress and its work through efforts to modernize the U.S. Senate, optimize individual congressional offices, and build bridges between America’s democratic institutions and the people they serve.
