Hello John,
I am thrilled to share some big news. Thanks to your generosity, ISI has fulfilled the Roots of American Renewal $75 million campaign fundraising goal one year early through gifts, pledges, and estate commitments. We will continue our efforts to strengthen and expand ISI’s core programs, faculty and alumni engagement, and educational media, while improving campus facilities and activities.
Your partnership is already transforming ISI’s work . . . and America's future. The Roots of American Renewal campaign funded:
- The construction of the Linda Bean Conference Center at our Kirby Campus. ISI now welcomes 1,000+ conservative students, faculty, alumni, and supporters to our campus each year for conferences, seminars, and lectures.
- The nationwide expansion of student, faculty, and alumni programs, that teach essential concepts for liberty. Last year, we hosted more than 215 educational events around the country!
- The launch of our new video and podcast studio, Studio 53, as well as educational media like Daring Greatly and Modern Age with Dan McCarthy, which share the conservative tradition with a broad audience and help future leaders get involved with ISI.
Your support is also visible in the lives of ISI alumni who now shape government, journalism, technology, and academia. These leaders are grounded in the great inheritance that flows from Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and Philadelphia. Our nation needs more young conservatives like them!
Over the next year, we will continue to identify, educate, mentor, and strategically place the next generation of American leaders as we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary in July 2026.
Stay posted for some special announcements about ISI programming this year and how you can stay involved.
Thank you for your steadfast commitment to educating for liberty!
Best,
John A. Burtka IV
President and CEO |
