About Next 10
Next 10 is an independent, nonpartisan organization that
educates, engages and empowers Californians to improve the state’s future. We create tools and provide information
that fosters a deeper understanding of the critical issues affecting all
Californians. Next 10 was founded and is funded by F. Noel Perry, businessman, social entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
Next 10 created the California Budget Challenge in 2005 to educate citizens about the state budget and the tradeoffs that are made to bring the budget into balance.
In addition to the online tool, Next 10 travels the state conducting highly interactive presentations using the California Budget Challenge -- allowing participants to vote on policy options that affect the budget in real-time with instant-response clickers. To invite Next 10 to speak at your event or in your classroom, please email sarah@next10.org.
