PROGRAMS & INITIATIVES

Core Purpose - A legacy of Passionate Citizenship

The Foundation aims to encourage the kind of passionate citizenship championed by Tom Wales - the energetic, courageous, and informed involvement of ordinary citizens in the issues and challenges that affect their communities. This spirit of citizenship begins with the unselfish desire to help others and is served by the open-minded willingness to listen to alternatives, the ability to forge fair collective resolutions, and the courage and determination to persist with a cause even in the face of adversity.

The Foundation is pursuing its mission along several dimensions, including:

  1. The Thomas C. Wales Award for Passionate Citizenship
  2. The Thomas C. Wales Public Symposia Program
  3. Thomas C. Wales Fellowship Program
