The Civic Tech Graveyard is where we where you can visit, celebrate, and pay your respects to the projects that are no longer with us. This collection was gathered for the purposes of original research by Micah Sifry and Matt Stempeck and continues to be updated with new entrants. One of the main objectives of the Civic Tech Field Guide is to help the field’s builders and funders learn what didn’t work, so they can make and fund things that do. Which makes this page one of the most important on this site. Learn more on our civic tech graveyard research page.
