Hello John,

I am eager to share a major announcement: please take just two minutes to watch the video below:



As we approach the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, ISI is launching the America 500 Campaign: a $25 million initiative to expand our programs that educate rising leaders for liberty . . . and cast an inspiring vision for the next 250 years.

The America 500 Education Fund will strengthen our proven model:

 

  • Reach young future leaders through educational media and outreach, introducing them to conservative thought and the Western tradition.
     
  • Teach through competitive and rigorous faculty-led campus programs, which foster deep intellectual formation and community.
     
  • Launch these ISI-shaped leaders through selective fellowships and immersive programs like the Honors Program and CN journalism fellowships, building long-lasting professional and educational ties. 
     
Funding priorities include $10M for academic programs and student journalism, $10M for educational media, and $5M for core infrastructure and capacity‑building.
