Support the Wilson Center

With experts in residence from around the world and a reputation for sound, unbiased, and constructive thinking, the Wilson Center is able to convene preeminent leaders from the scholarly, business, and government communities to connect the world of ideas with the world of policy. Additionally, through digital distribution outlets, including social media, the Wilson Center can reach beyond its walls to hundreds of thousands here and abroad, including decision-makers at all levels. The Wilson Center has been named the #1 think tank in the world in regional studies for two years in a row.

As a living memorial to President Wilson, the Wilson Center receives an annual congressional appropriation that accounts for roughly one-third of our budget. In order to raise the remaining two-thirds, the Wilson Center relies on the support of the public. We ask for your help in supporting this critical mission.

The Wilson Center is grateful to the many foundations, corporations, and individuals who support our important work.
