The Institute For American Renewal

About Us

Founded in 1997, The Institute For American Renewal is a research and educational institute -- a think tank -- whose mission is to formulate and promote progressive public policies based on the principles of open democracy, issue based politics, rural revitalisation, urban renewal, 21st century American values, and multilateral foreign policy.

We seek to address issues such as income inequality, poverty, rural flight, urban decay, agricultural collapse, and corporate monopolies. We pursue these missions through policy research, which we present to the key actors in our nation's political sphere and to the public in general. We also conduct grassroots training for community activists seeking to address both systemic and local issues.

The Institute For American Renewal is a non-partisan, tax exempt institution. we rely on the private financial support of the general public and accept no government funds.
