“I thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum, the small group environment, and the open dialogue between faculty and students at IWP. Moreover, the guest lecturers who appeared here make this institution all the more unique."

Fund Development

National security is the highest public policy priority. Without it, nothing else in a country's public life is possible - neither economic activity, domestic governance, the exercise of civil liberties, nor even organized charitable work. How effectively this security is achieved - while protecting our liberties - depends heavily on how well educated our leaders are in the use of all the instruments of power - especially those that minimize the necessity of using force. Supporting the Institute is the best way to help ensure that many of our leaders possess this essential education.

The Institute is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt educational institution. It is privately supported by donations from foundations, corporations and individuals, and licensed by the District of Columbia Education Licensure Commission. Contributions to the Institute are tax-deductible.

Please visit the Support Us section to donate online.

For those wishing to send contributions by mail, our address is: The Institute of World Politics, 1521 16th Street NW, Washington DC 20036.

Favored School of Statecraft

Wall Street Journal on IWP

“In sharp contrast to a foreign-policy world that tends to elevate method and process.... The Institute of World Politics roots itself in American values....When the Institute started up in 1990, the Berlin Wall had fallen, people were talking about the end of history.... But in the 10 years since, we've had the Gulf War, Osama bin Laden, Kosovo, and the rise of China. The world will not always run in accord with American interests and ideals. All the more reason for a school of statecraft that does."
