Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
College to Congress (C2C) is a nonpartisan nonprofit that is creating a more inclusive and effective Congress by empowering the next generation of public servants. The group provides pathways for college students from rural, low-income, and disadvantaged communities to intern and subsequently work in Congress who otherwise could not afford to. C2C’s unique, all-encompassing program provides selected college students with the training, mentorship, and financial support needed to intern in Congress and launch their careers in public service. C2C believes that with a seat at the policymaking table, these young leaders can help create a democracy that is truly reflective of the American people on both sides of the aisle.
