iCivics, funded in part by an IADC Foundation grant, is the nation’s largest provider of and champion for high quality, equitable and nonpartisan civic education. iCivics was founded by the Honorable Sandra Day O’Connor in 2009 to ensure that the practice of democracy is learned by each new generation and to inspire life-long civic engagement. Each year, iCivics’ award-winning resources are used by 145,000 teachers and 9 million students in classrooms across the United States.
