Dartmouth's $25M Civics Boost

Dartmouth College just received a $25 million gift from alumni Karen and Jim Frank and their son Daniel to fuel its civics program, designed to help people from all walks of life find common ground through respectful dialogue. The donation — the largest ever for civil discourse at an American university — includes $15 million to match future contributions and $10 million to permanently fund the executive director role, named after the Frank family. Launched just this year, Dartmouth Dialogues aims to raise $50 million total, and is now $29 million closer to that goal. This major investment signals a growing public commitment to rebuilding bridges through meaningful conversation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
