Our Story

Civic Relay was founded in 2026 to design capital systems that outlast election cycles, leadership transitions, and funding volatility.

Big Ideas,
Real Impact.

We work with ambitious civic and mission-driven organizations pursuing scale — those raising $25M, $50M, or $100M and needing more than traditional development support.

Our work integrates:

  • Campaign architecture

  • Leadership gift strategy

  • Capital stack segmentation (philanthropy + investment)

  • Governance activation

  • Pipeline discipline and KPI-driven execution

We do not operate as event planners or transactional fundraisers.

We serve as senior capital architects and embedded strategic partners.

The organizations that define the next decade will not simply raise money.

They will engineer durable capital systems.

Civic Relay exists to build them.
