Thank you for your interest in Soul of the Community (SOTC). This three-year study conducted by Gallup of the 26 John S. and James L. Knight Foundation communities across the United States is a fresh approach to determine the drivers of emotional community-citizen engagement and its role in community economic growth and well-being. The study focuses on the emotional side of the connection between residents and their communities.

The results of the SOTC study identify new approaches to help create long-term transformation and new possibilities for continued progress in Knight communities.

We invite you to learn more about the community characteristics that drive community-citizen engagement, understand what is going on in your community and get involved.
