| IRS990EZ/PrimaryExemptPurpose | 0 | The mission of the Jefferson Center is to model and promote in-depth deliberative methods which educate and engage citizens in an informed, respectful and powerful way in public policy making. |
| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 0 | In 2011 the Jefferson Center explored design of new projects, starting the year with a series of Values Reviews to identify citizens' views on the tradeoffs involved in healthcare and government budget choices. We explored the creation of a Minnesota Citizens Budget Review (CBR) to make citizen-based recommendations on the long-term budget problems facing state government. Ultimately, we chose to pursue a Citizens Jury on the the economy and the federal debt, scheduled for 2012. 2011 was also important for rebuilding an organizational infrastructure (new office space, logo, IT network, etc.) and the first new Executive Director in ten years. We also completed our arrangement as fiscal agent for the colleague organization Healthy Democracy Fund in Oregon, formed to support the Citizens Initiative Review process of evaluating ballot initiatives. |
