Arthur N. Rupe Foundation

The Arthur N. Rupe Foundation is dedicated to achieving positive social change by shining the light of truth on critical and controversial issues.

The Foundation pursues this mission through the support of scholarly studies, education, research, and public debate, and by the dissemination of the results via a variety of media to all segments of the public.

The Foundation's areas of focus include the following:

• Debate
  The Foundation supports numerous projects that advance civil and reasoned public debate at the high school, university, and civic level. Debates sponsored by the Foundation are non-partisan and accessible to a general audience, with the intention of educating and exposing audiences to all sides of a particular social issue.
   
• Public Policy
  The Foundation supports various national- and state-based think tanks, as well as other freedom-oriented organizations whose scholars produce vital research that will affect public policy and reach a broad and influential audience. In addition, the Foundation provides support to public interest law firms that defend core Constitutional principles and adjudicate societal issues consistent with its mission.
     

For the most part, the Foundation prefers to fund specific projects rather than general operations.

Support is not provided for individuals, fundraising events, conferences, endowments, or capital campaigns.
