The Trustee For Institute Of Public Affairs Research Trust
Tips for Applicants
The Institute of Public Affairs does not operate as a traditional grant-making foundation. It is a policy research organization that accepts members and donations. Those seeking funding for research or community projects would need to align with the IPA's free-market, limited government philosophy to potentially receive support through their membership or research partnerships.
Giving Philosophy
The IPA operates primarily as a research and policy think tank rather than a traditional grant-making foundation. It produces research outputs, submissions to inquiries, publications, and hosts events to influence public policy debate. Giving appears to be indirect through producing research that advances their ideological positions rather than direct grant-making to external organizations.
