Why we support them
Good policy begins with good understanding. The Washington Institute produces the kind of rigorous, even-handed scholarship that helps leaders make wiser decisions.
We support this work because ideas matter — and because patient, serious analysis is a quiet but real form of public service. Our founder, Matthew Chase Levy, serves as a Trustee of the Institute.
What they do
The Washington Institute is a research organization focused on policy and international affairs.
Understanding, pursued honestly, is its own kind of peacemaking.
