The Miller Center's Conference on the American Presidency, October 19–20, 2023

The George and Judy Marcus Democracy Praxis Fund was established in December 2019 to help the Miller Center provide substantive, historical, and fact-based context directly to government officials and the public. In particular, Praxis funds support facilitating civil discourse on issues that matter, with voices from across the political spectrum.

Since then, Praxis dollars have been put toward a variety of media projects, including a documentary about George H. W. Bush that the Center co-produced with VPM. Statecraft: The Bush 41 Team originally aired nationally on PBS and is now available on Amazon Prime. For the film, the Praxis Fund financed the many interviews with former Bush officials and other policy experts.

Praxis also has helped bring dozens of events to the public and has funded website enhancements that give current events the historical context for which the Miller Center is known.
