Why subscribe to What IF… ?

Imagine. Discuss. Collaborate.

At the Interactivity Foundation, we believe in the importance and power of civic discussion as a necessary and vital component of our democracy.

We often abbreviate the Foundation's name as “IF” to remind ourselves to focus on possibilities. What if our country’s citizens engage collaboratively in meaningful civil conversations about public matters in their communities, classrooms, and workplaces?

Imagine the possibilities! What IF?

We envision a future where all people have the opportunity and discussion skills to come together to explore emerging concerns for the purpose of co-imagining pathways forward. 

We imagine a future with the civic infrastructure necessary for people to engage in meaningful discussions that expand public imagination, build social trust, and strengthen democratic participation.

We believe everyone deserves opportunities to think about the challenges facing our communities and to learn how to work together to address them. 

With greater public imagination, collaboration, and social trust, we can improve society for everyone. 

Purposeful discussion and civic engagement encourage collaboration, incorporate diverse perspectives, and generate an expanding set of divergent possibilities.

The Interactivity Foundation’s mission is to strengthen our democracy by improving the quality of those discussions. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get involved and receive resources to help you spark meaningful conversations in the communities where you live, work, and learn.

We look forward to exploring all the “What IFs” with you!
