Our Story
civictech.shop wasn't born in a boardroom. It started with a simple idea: to create an exciting product for civic tech community to share their pride and connect with each other. This is a place for us, by us.
A Community Service, Not a Business
Have you ever wanted some cool swag from your agency or team, but don't have any good options? We've all have been there.
That's why this shop is the answer. We provide high-quality, well-designed merchandise that we, as members of the community, would actually want to use
Every item is sold at cost. We make zero profit. Our only goal is to cover the production and shipping fees, allowing us to celebrate the amazing work happening across government and civic tech. It’s our way of giving back and fostering a shared identity.
Our Values
Community-Centric
This is a user-centered project where we actively solicit and incorporate community feedback.
Intentional Design
We are committed to thoughtful, high-quality design that reflects the amazing spirit of the humans of civic tech.
Non-Profit Mission
We operate on an at-cost basis, driven by a commitment to serve the community rather than to generate profit.
Hey, I'm Syed! I'm a long-time civic tech community memeber who just wanted a decent hoodie. When I couldn't find one, I decided to build a place where we all could. This shop is a labor of love for my amazing civic tech friends.
