Who We Are

We help everyday Pennsylvanians understand their government —
and help empower our communities to take part in it.

The New PA Project Education Fund is a non-partisan organization led by community leaders across the Commonwealth. We center Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color, immigrant communities, the justice-impacted, and the youth (under 35)—with intention—as they are the least represented and most impacted by decisions our government is making.
