Salary impact: $0-15k (nonprofit sector, low budgets). Use case: nonprofits, government, universities. Growing demand: cities need civic participation (climate, housing, budgets); tech can scale it.

тЭУ FAQ

What's civic tech and why does it matter?
Civic tech = technology enabling citizen engagement in government (voting, budgeting, consultations, transparency). Why: low traditional participation (30% vote in local elections, 60% federal). Tech can scale: digital voting, participatory budgeting reaches 10x more people. Problem: not all tech works; bad design = false engagement (people don't feel heard).
What's the difference between civic tech and political campaigns?
Civic tech = nonpartisan, infrastructure for democracy. Campaign tech = partisan, goal is winning election. Civic tech examples: 311 (report potholes), participatory budgeting (vote on spending), transparency portals (see government contracts). Campaign: voter targeting, door-knock coordination, ads.
Can civic tech actually increase participation or is it theater?
Mixed. Participatory budgeting (Paris, NYC): measurable increase (10-15% participation from 2% baseline). Online petitions: tons of signatures, 1% become policy (hard to measure impact). Transparency tools: high info asymmetry reduction. Bottom line: tech is necessary but not sufficient; must pair with community organizing.
What are barriers to civic tech adoption?
Digital divide (elderly, rural, low-income often excluded). Distrust (why vote if government ignores me?). Bad UX (government websites are notoriously painful). Language/accessibility (non-English speakers, disabled excluded). Organizational: siloed government agencies don't coordinate on tech.
How do I measure civic tech engagement impact?
Metrics: (1) participation rate (% of eligible population using platform), (2) demographic diversity (does it reach traditionally excluded groups?), (3) action тЖТ policy (did citizen input change government decision?), (4) equity (does it reduce or increase disparities?). Hard measurement = why civic tech nonprofits often fail (impact is soft).
What's the government's role in civic tech?
Progressive governments: fund civic tech, open data, co-design with citizens. Examples: participatory budgeting (Paris, NYC, Korea), transparent budgets (Brazil), digital town halls (EU). Conservative governments: minimal engagement (risk of challenge). Autarchies: civic tech = threat (blocked).
What salary for civic tech?
Nonprofit salaries: $60-100k for program directors. Government: $70-120k (civil service). Tech companies: $0 (most not profitable). Best-paid: consultant or Code for America (mission-driven, decent pay). Salary cap: social impact sector pays 20-30% less than tech. If money is priority, don't choose civic tech.
