Dear Friend,

The last few years—and the recent election—have made it crystal clear to most Americans that we must deal urgently with the corruption of our nation’s educational system.

Ronald Reagan warned us decades ago: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” 

Today it may be less than that.

That’s because anti-American activists are proving to be very successful politically.

Look at their effectiveness, for example, in preventing school choice and blocking the charter school movement—even in many solidly conservative states! 

Look also at their tactics.

Not only do they lie about their opponents’ motives—accusing them of racism, for instance—they have even appealed for support from federal law enforcement by labeling parents who speak out at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.” 

Engaging these anti-American activists on the battlefield of education is critical to our hopes of preserving liberty and restoring limited constitutional government for future generations.

Hillsdale College has been deeply engaged in this battle for decades. With the help of supporters like you, who agree with Hillsdale’s mission, we are now determined to redouble our efforts at this crucial time for our nation—no matter the cost.

That’s why we have set a goal to raise $5 million online by December 31 to expand our Project to Defend Liberty Nationwide by Reaching and Teaching Millions in 2023. 

This vital project will give informed patriots across the country the ability to defend liberty through education effectively. And we need your help.

The project has three key objectives:

1. Increase the number of citizens (especially younger Americans) enrolling in our free online courses, such as “Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution,” “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope,” and our newest course, “The Real American Founding: A Conversation.” 
   
2. Expand the circulation of Imprimis, our digest of liberty, to reach millions more Americans.
3. Launch additional Hillsdale-affiliated classical K-12 schools nationwide and provide, free of charge, our American classical K-12 curriculum (including the Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum) to thousands more American teachers and homeschoolers.

And your generous support is critical to our success. Here’s why...

As I’ve written to you in the past, Hillsdale College conducts its educational outreach efforts on behalf of liberty—as it does all of its work—while refusing to accept ONE PENNY of government funding, not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or loans.

So, to meet our ambitious year-end funding goal, we need your help. A gift of $10, $25, $50, or $100 will bring us closer to preserving the American way of life. But contributions of any size are appreciated. 

Since we have less than a month remaining in 2022 to fund this project for the coming year, we urgently need your help.

As the forces of anti-Americanism redouble their own efforts to undermine informed patriotism in our schools and our culture and to subvert constitutionalism in our government, we must engage them ever more aggressively—including on the battlefield of education.

That’s why I hope you’ll make your most generous year-end gift before the December 31 IRS deadline. 

Every dollar you can give will get us closer to our $5 million online fundraising goal, enabling us to expand our Project to Defend Liberty Nationwide by Reaching and Teaching Millions in 2023. 

Thank you for your generosity. I hope you’ll continue to stand with us by making a tax-deductible year-end gift before December 31. Together, we will work to preserve freedom for future generations of Americans.

Please support the project today.


Warm regards,
