Duration
12 months
Description
With rising political polarization, it is imperative to foster civil discourse to strengthen relationships across partisan lines. Founded in 1991, the Faith and Politics Institute (FPI) cultivates mutual respect, increased understanding, and honest conversation among political leaders to advance productive discourse and constructive collaboration. Over the past thirty-four years, FPI has convened more than 1,000 participants—including United States presidents, 300 members of Congress and their staff members, state officials, dignitaries, and community leaders—through thirty-four domestic and international tours. These transformative experiences invite bipartisan reflection on moral leadership and the unfinished work of democracy. With Corporation support, FPI will engage bipartisan members of Congress and their families through its annual civil rights tour commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
