Your Support Helps Communities Deliver
City Thread is a national nonprofit that helps communities turn ambitious plans into finished projects.
The biggest obstacle is trust. People don’t trust decisions made without them, institutions work in silos, and projects that should take months stall for years.
The Playbook helps local leaders build the relationships, processes, and resources to work together and deliver on their promises. Every finished project builds the confidence and momentum for what comes next.
Your tax deductible gift brings the Playbook to more communities.
Invest in Civic Health Through City Thread’s Playbook
Be on the Front Steps of Community Progress
Our goal is to raise and invest $100 million in the civic health of American communities. Reaching it means helping more communities build the capacity to act together, finish important projects, and take on bigger challenges.
The Playbook is a proven approach that strengthens civic health. That’s the ability of people, institutions, and partners to work through differences, make shared decisions, and turn those decisions into action.
In 2027, we’re taking that work further. You can invest in the Playbook as a whole or choose the area that fits your goals.
Ways to Invest in Civic Health Through City Thread’s Playbook
Communities already know what they want to build. Your investment gives their leaders the resources, relationships, and practical help to get it done.
What $1 Can Do
City Thread delivers a proven return on investment by helping communities turn ambitious plans into finished projects. Across communities including Austin, Texas; Bentonville, Arkansas; and Providence, Rhode Island, every $1 in private funding invested in local coalition building generates an average of $8.70 in public investment.
With an average philanthropic investment of $2.5 million per city, local partners can build the relationships, capacity, and momentum needed to move community priorities toward public investment and project delivery.
Why I Give
Supporting City Thread is an easy decision for SRAM. The development of safe biking infrastructure is one of our key advocacy priorities, and no one does this better than City Thread. Zoe, Sara, and Kyle are consummate professionals and teammates.
