iCivics, Inc. (formerly Our Courts) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States that provides educational online games and lesson plans to promote civics education and encourage students to become active citizens.[1] iCivics was founded in 2009 by retired Supreme Court of the United States Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. iCivics's stated mission is to “ensure every student receives a high-quality civic education, and becomes engaged in – and beyond – the classroom.”[2]
iCivics, inc. is supported by private donations and grants and had annual expenses of $2.2 million in 2015.[1] Among the top contributors were the Gates Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation.[1][2] In the same year, iCivics served more than 85,000 educators and 3 million students, including half of all middle school social studies classrooms in America.[1]
