Hello John,

I want to tell you about a student named Christian.

Christian participates in an onstage panel interview at ISI’s Gala for Western Civilization.

​​​​​​Last fall, he started an ISI chapter at Georgetown University. He gathered friends who wanted a space to study conservative thought and the Western canon.

Word spread quickly. By December, he was turning students away from dinner discussions because the meeting spaces were at capacity.

Christian wanted to do more. At the start of the spring semester, he sent ISI an ambitious budget proposal, featuring ten guest lectures, four trips to plays and concerts, weekly book discussions, and even a chapter gala. He planned a rich semester with increased student involvement, aiming to establish a conservative presence on his college campus.

But ISI couldn’t fully fund it. We asked him to cut his plan in half.

Conservative students like Christian already exist on colleges across the country. They’ve organized with ISI’s help, and they’re making big plans. But they need support from people like you.

To meet this growing need, we’re raising $40,000 for ISI’s Conservative Campus Programs Fund by July 4th. Thanks to one of our generous donors, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000.

Your gift will fund over 70 ISI chapters, reach hundreds of students on campuses where leftist ideology has taken root, and help ISI maintain the staff who make these life-changing programs possible.

Planning for the Fall 2026 semester is already underway. Students are submitting requests for speakers, books, and venues. The answer we give them depends entirely on the resources we raise in the next few weeks.

Will you help ensure no student like Christian is turned away this fall?
