Your support of National Review Institute helps carry forward a noble tradition.
We often wonder, what would we do in desperate times? What choices would we make when history calls on us to stand firm for what we believe?
None of us stood with Washington as he crossed the Delaware. None of us debated the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787. We were not at Normandy in 1944, nor at Selma in 1965. But because of the sacrifices and vision of those who came before us, we enjoy the blessings of liberty they secured. Today, we have the responsibility to defend that inheritance and advance it for future generations.
Your steadfast support of National Review Institute (NRI) places you firmly in this noble tradition. While ours may not be the work of crossing rivers or storming beaches, your commitment ensures that the ideas and principles that sustain a free society remain vibrant and strong.
You’ve helped do what William F. Buckley Jr. set out to do nearly 70 years ago: defend the Constitution, uphold free enterprise, and celebrate the moral foundations that make a free and prosperous society possible. These principles are as vital today as ever — and your commitment ensures they remain front and center in the national conversation.
When you support NRI, you equip us to fight on multiple fronts:
- Championing Objective Truth: Whether the battle is against relativism or cultural decay, your partnership ensures we stand firm in defending what is right, just, and true — no matter how unpopular it may be.
- Cultivating the Next Generation: Through programs like the Burke to Buckley Fellowship Program and our student outreach initiatives, you’re equipping young leaders to carry the torch of conservatism into the future.
- Promoting Free Markets and Constitutional Government: As champions of economic liberty and limited government, we reject the creeping encroachments of socialism and central planning. Thanks to you, our publications are clear, consistent, and influential.
Your impact can be seen from sea to shining sea across the spectrum of our work. Andrew Stuttaford, NRI fellow and editor of National Review Capital Matters, spoke in Arkansas and California, emphasizing the dangers of protectionism and the urgent need for Reagan-era economic policies. Meanwhile, Charles C. W. Cooke championed America’s federalist system in Spokane, and Dan McLaughlin provided timely analysis of upcoming Supreme Court cases through a collaborative event with the Pacific Legal Foundation.
Your contributions to preserve moral bedrocks are evident in initiatives like Kathryn Jean Lopez’s webinar discussing the film Sound of Hope, which tells the inspiring story of a Texas church ensuring no child in their community was left without care. Additionally, in partnership with NRPLUS, we hosted a webinar on the Hamas atrocities in Israel, reaffirming the need for moral clarity in defending our values.
Make no mistake: This is a challenging time. The radical Left dominates our cultural institutions, pushing ideologies that undermine our foundational principles. But with your support, we remain unafraid to confront these challenges, and, inch by inch, we will overcome them.
Every article we publish, every event we host, every young leader we mentor — these are your victories.
Your support embodies a profound commitment to ensuring that the principles of liberty endure. As we look to the challenges and opportunities ahead, know that your generosity fuels everything we do. You are making a profound difference.
Thank you for all that you do. I am honored to have you by our side in this critical work. Together, we will continue to defend and advance the principles that make this nation exceptional.
