Civitas Institute is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, founded in 2005. It analyzes state government and conducts research aimed at reducing what it views as barriers to freedom, with the goal of improving life for North Carolinians. The group emphasizes accountability for elected officials and seeks to elevate perspectives it believes are underrepresented in public discourse. Operating in the United States’ public policy sector, Civitas engages in policy research and advocacy as part of its mission. A notable development in its recent history is a 2021 collaboration with another policy organization, the John Locke Foundation, indicating a consolidation of capabilities. The organization is a relatively small nonprofit.
