Dear Steven,

Knight Foundation has just released an expanded version of its report, The
Emergence of Civic Tech: Investments in a Growing
Field<http://bit.ly/trendsincivictech>,
which examines activity and investment in technologies designed to spark
citizen engagement, improve cities and make government more effective.

Building upon the original report released in December 2013, this version
captures an additional 32 organizations and $265 million in private and
philanthropic investment, bringing total investment from 2011 to 2013 to
$695 million. People can explore organizations and investments across
different segments of the civic tech landscape using this *interactive data
