Program officer at Civic Trust Foundation. We fund gov-tech and civic ventures with non-dilutive grants and catalytic first-loss capital. Proof of public outcomes beats pedigree.Civic Trust Foundation is a private operating foundation backing technology that makes government and civic institutions work better for people. As a program officer on the foundation's Public Infrastructure & Civic Innovation portfolio, the account-holder underwrites gov-tech and civic-sector founders the venture market routinely passes on: benefits-access tools, procurement and permitting software, public-records and transparency platforms, digital identity, and civic-engagement products. The check is rarely equity. The foundation deploys recoverable grants, milestone-based program-related investments (PRIs), and catalytic first-loss capital designed to de-risk a venture enough that a later commercial round becomes possible. Diligence here is unusual: instead of growth curves the foundation reads for civic mission, procurement readiness, evidence of public outcomes, data-governance maturity, and whether a founder can survive the brutal length of government sales cycles. On f3 the program officer lives in the watchlist and the proof page rather than a deal feed, looking for verified TRUST and PULSE signals (pilots landed, agency contracts signed, outcomes measured) before requesting an intro. The foundation's grant-making is accountable to a board and to public reporting standards, so every commitment is documented and outcome-tracked rather than marked-to-market.
