Mission
Brownstone Institute is an educational nonprofit corporation that strives to provide an independent voice for personal liberty and free enterprise in the United States. We look to influence a post-lockdown world by generating new ideas in public health, scientific discourse, economics, and social theory to defend and promote the liberty that is critical for an enlightened society from which everyone benefits. The purpose is to point the way to a better understanding of essential freedoms.
Program accomplishments
- The organization conducted research in areas including history, politics, economics, science, psychology and sociology. Topics included revealing hard truths related to public health, generating new ideas in public health, scientific discourse, economics, and social theory with the goal of defending and promoting liberty. Information and articles were published on the Institute's website and social media, in print and audio formats. In addition, educational conferences and lecture dinners and gatherings were held with the goal of educating those in attendance regarding personal liberty and free enterprise, across all areas of our society. Print materials were also produced to educate readers in our post-lockdown world by examining the global crises created by policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, discovering and explaining alternative paths, waking the world to truths, and seeking reforms to prevent such events from happening again.Expenses $2,003,365 · grants $544,577 · revenue $187,816
