When you partner with The Civic Research Alliance you receive support from many organizations in Pennsylvania. This extended family offers resources that allow you to:

• Avoid reinventing the wheel for ideas and programs
• Access their resources through the Alliance (such as databases, benchmarks, best practices, prior research, etc.)
• Gain an audience or a sounding board for your ideas
• Gain credibility and visibility with your constituents or customers
• Find alternative solutions, innovations, or differing points of view
• Fully support decision makers.

This site will provide a growing list of available resources in the coming months. Remember, you can partner directly with The Civic Research Alliance or through another statewide organization. Links with organizations that will work with the Alliance include:
