The two terms do seem similar, but I think the examples below show a distinction.

Grass-roots initiative sprouts in Valley
Example sentence:

The University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute’s Civic Initiative is dedicated to promoting Democracy through education both at home and abroad.

Civic Initiative - Civic life includes all the places in the “public square” where people encounter one another as citizens.
