Replacing Poverty with Prosperity

We fund locally-designed projects to remove government-imposed barriers to opportunity.
Limiting Government Power

We partner with pro-freedom organizations that protect human rights, defend the institutions of free societies, and stand up to Illiberal regimes—whether from the populist right or the socialist left.
Fostering Innovation and Dynamism

We provide a network for idea entrepreneurs who believe a brighter future is possible—likely even—as long as governments stay in their lane, respect individuals’ rights, and provide a level playing field for creators and innovators.
Building a Freedom Movement that Lasts

We support the development of think tanks and do-tanks that promote public appreciation for principles of liberty that transcend partisan politics.
