[company_age]8.0[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][funding]Series A[/funding][description]Make.org is a unique civic tech organization that empowers citizens to participate in shaping society through large-scale consultations and collaborative action. Unlike traditional advocacy groups, Make.org focuses on mobilizing the public to identify and implement solutions to pressing social issues. This approach sets them apart by directly engaging citizens in the decision-making process, fostering a sense of ownership and collective responsibility. Make.org's neutrality and independence ensure that their initiatives are driven by the public's priorities, not specific political or economic agendas. Additionally, their commitment to transparency and ethical practices builds trust and legitimacy among participants. Make.org's innovative approach involves large-scale consultations that engage millions of people, enabling them to identify and address key societal challenges. These consultations focus on critical issues such as combating violence against women and children, improving access to food and culture, protecting the environment, empowering youth, and enhancing care for the elderly and disabled. Based on the ideas generated through these consultations, Make.org collaborates with various partners, including associations, businesses, institutions, and media, to develop and implement action plans through their endowment fund, Make.org Foundation. Additionally, Make.org assists governments and local authorities in implementing participatory democracy initiatives and organizes major citizen debates in collaboration with media outlets. They also support businesses and organizations seeking to engage their stakeholders in participatory transformations. Make.org's commitment to neutrality, independence, and transparency is reflected in their Ethical Charter and validated by an independent Ethics Council composed of experts and randomly selected citizens. They prioritize data privacy for consultation participants and strive to make civic participation accessible to all. Make.org firmly believes that collective civil action, alongside or in conjunction with government efforts, can contribute to the public good and revitalize democracies.[/description][ps]Citizen consultations, action plan development, participatory democracy support, stakeholder engagement.[/ps]
