How We Work

Public Agenda works to build an informed and inclusive democracy for all Americans through solutions-focused programs and partnerships.

Do you want to:

• Listen more closely and effectively to your community or stakeholders?
• Create greater trust, connection, and social capital?
• Bring people together to forge fair, effective, sustainable solutions to tough problems?
• Change the way you operate to make the above a permanent fixture rather than an occasional exercise?
• Understand public opinion more deeply to create productive public conversations?

For over 40 years, Public Agenda has offered communities, cities, states, foundations, public-serving organizations, and major initiatives a unique set of capabilities and assets to accomplish these essential goals. These include:

• Public opinion research expertise informed by our powerful, signature stages-of-public-judgment framework.
• Field-leading, multi-method expertise in public and stakeholder engagement, along with practical knowledge of what works based on decades of hands-on experience.
• A hard-earned reputation for fair-minded, nonpartisan, high-quality work.
