Cooperative for Public Understanding

Return to  Home   

Goal: Centralize access to public knowledge.

There are many organizations and web sites that have, at least in part, a goal of bringing knowledge to the public. But there are so many organizations, and they are all over the place, with no central way to find them.

The Collaboration provides the central way to find all these organizations through this web site and a newsletter.

This is not a directory like google, but a collaboration. Organizations join this cooperative because they believe that knowledge leads to understanding, which leads to action.

When organizations join CPU, they help public understanding by:


The CPU is a non partisan project, and does not support or endorse any political agenda or point of view, other than the belief that bringing knowledge to the public is important. This project does not receive any funds from anyone, and has no financial ties to any organization, project or group. (Although in the future, the CPU will apply for funding from several grant giving organizations.)



(Eventually the CPU would do other things, like produce reports, commission papers, develop guidelines of how knowledege might be best presented, recruit writers, other stuff to be thought of.)
