What’s Next:
We are collaborating with a few local funders and newsrooms on using the Index data and framework to inform initiatives and efforts.
We are hoping to build a collaborative system for data-sharing across communities and into the national Index. Our goal is to create an evolving resource that empowers communities to take charge and use data to assess outcomes, define priorities, and measure impact.

We need an annual index to see how we are doing. A one-time index is great, but a perpetual index is what the nation needs to identify patterns and trends that will foster greater collaboration or strategic responses. It is crucial for understanding what is working and driving continuous improvement in civic health.
