Dear Friends and Supporters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nonpartisan civil service is the backbone of our democracy, ensuring that the federal government, our most important tool for collective action in a complex world, meets its mission to serve the public interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet today, the very purpose of government is in peril.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration is obliterating the government\u2019s apolitical workforce, arbitrarily firing thousands of federal employees who take a constitutional oath to serve the public good and seeking to replace them with political loyalists beholden to a partisan agenda. These actions violate the law, undermine the transparency and accountability of federal agencies, and challenge the notion that government exists to serve the public rather than enrich the leader of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Partnership for Public Service is stepping up to counter these extraordinary threats.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly 25 years, we have worked to build a better government and a stronger democracy, helping federal agencies and leaders serve the public, no matter the political environment. We have trained, recognized and engaged with tens of thousands of civil servants to develop a more capable, responsive and accountable federal workforce. We have also advocated for constructive reforms aimed at creating a more effective federal government.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harmful actions of the current administration have diminished the Partnership\u2019s ability to work in the federal space. At the same time, the administration has singled us out for our steadfast and long-standing advocacy of civil servants. This volatile landscape has dramatically impacted programs we have long delivered at the federal level.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this crisis, we are executing a new strategic vision that prioritizes supporting and safeguarding the civil service. We are preparing civil servants to navigate change and sustain their critical work in the face of uncertainty. Simultaneously, we are engaging the public about the importance of the federal government and the services it provides to everyday people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we are expanding our work to state and local governments. People want more from government at all levels, and the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to downsize the federal government is putting intense pressure on state and local entities to meet public needs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will apply our experience improving systems, leaders and agency performance in the federal government to help state and local organizations rise to this challenge. Our efforts will help demonstrate that government at all levels can deliver for people, improving overall trust in our public institutions. Among the initiatives we are bringing to this new state and local audience is our AI Center for Government\u2122, which equips federal, state and local leaders to evaluate, develop and deploy AI for the public good.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this report, we outline how we are pursuing this vision, and we recap our accomplishments from 2024.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, we will continue to offer a better alternative to the ongoing campaign against our government, championing constructive solutions to help it work better, offering civil servants the support they need to thrive in a challenging environment and showing the public what is at stake during this moment of crisis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thank our donors and partners for making our work possible, and we look forward to engaging others as we seek to build on our impact.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
