John,

You know that most institutions of higher education have been hotbeds of anti-Americanism for decades.

In recent years, the radical ideologies hatched in higher education have spread into the mainstream of American life.

The need to push back aggressively has become urgent.

Next year, we must do even more for the cause of liberty and the American way of life. And I think the opportunities are significantly better than in the past.

We must do all we can to revive and preserve the principles and practices of liberty and limited constitutional government on the battlefield of education. 

Hillsdale College has been deeply engaged in this battle for decades. With the help of friends like you, who support Hillsdale’s mission, we are determined to redouble our efforts at this crucial time for our nation.

That’s why we have set a goal to raise $6,000,000 online by December 31 to expand our Project to Revive and Preserve Liberty Through Education in 2025. 

The focus of this vital project is to foster informed patriotism nationwide, especially among younger Americans. And we need your help.

Before the end of 2024, would you consider supporting Hillsdale College with a tax-deductible gift? We have set a goal to raise $6,000,000 from our friends nationwide by December 31.

Hillsdale’s educational outreach on behalf of liberty has never been more urgent than it is today. That’s because efforts to undermine patriotism and destroy the American way of life have been increasing—with the ultimate goal of transforming American government and society.

Your year-end gift will help us to promote informed patriotism by educating millions of Americans—especially younger Americans—about our nation’s great heritage of liberty.

One way we accomplish this is through our free online courses—courses such as “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution,” “Land of Hope: The Great American Story,” and “Marxism, Socialism, and Communism.”

We must increase the number of citizens we reach and teach through these free online courses, as well as through our several other educational outreach efforts—efforts such as Imprimis and our ongoing work to help launch and support Hillsdale-affiliated K-12 charter schools nationwide.

Defeating the anti-American Left on the battlefield of education is an essential part of reviving and preserving the American way of life.

Hillsdale College refuses to accept even one penny of government support—not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants and loans. This principled independence frees us from many burdensome and corrupting federal regulations and allows us to remain true to our mission.

It also means that we depend entirely on the support of citizens like you.

I see the tremendous impact of this support as I travel around the nation and talk to those who benefit from Hillsdale’s educational outreach. It is especially gratifying to see the impact on younger Americans.

Your year-end contribution will help us expand Hillsdale’s educational outreach on behalf of liberty in 2025.

If you agree that it is vitally important to promote informed patriotism by educating increasing millions of citizens (especially younger Americans) about our nation’s great heritage of liberty, please make your best tax-deductible gift to Hillsdale College by December 31.
