Overview
This grant will support the Center for American Progress Generational Change and American Democracy project, an initiative that includes the Brookings Institution and the Bipartisan Policy Center. The initiative will project the effects of emerging younger generations on future public opinion, voting behavior, and the health of democracy. The baby boomers—the generation that has dominated society for more than 30 years—are being eclipsed by younger and more diverse Americans. By 2020, millennials and post-millennials will represent 37 percent of eligible voters—far more than the boomers. A better future for American democracy depends on the political activities and preferences of these emerging "millennial-plus" generations.

for the Public Lands Program
The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan policy institute dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through advancing bold progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action. This grant supports its efforts to ensure that America’s public lands, waters, and wildlife are protected for everyone to experience and explore; that America’s natural resources are developed wisely, safely, and with a fair return to taxpayers; and that public lands are being managed for sustainable economic growth — from creating jobs in recreation and clean energy industries to delivering the quality of life that attracts employees and businesses to Western communities.
