About Washington Policy Institute In 2026, the Washington Policy Institute is launching an ambitious, multi-faceted campaign to shine a powerful light on the issues that strike at the heart of American values—faith, family, and freedom. We’re not just defending these principles here at home; we’re standing with allies worldwide against the growing threat of communist authoritarianism. Here’s what your support will make possible this year: Empowering the Next Generation Scholarships through national essay contests, media internships, university and school partnerships, and engaging Weekly Reader-style email newsletters that educate and activate young Americans. Making Americans Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise again. A major initiative to restore American exceptionalism by charting a clear path back to academic excellence, physical fitness, and the timeless wisdom that built our great nation—equipping families, schools, and communities with resources, policy advocacy, and inspiration to raise a stronger, smarter, and more resilient generation. The Taiwan Freedom Project A dedicated initiative to educate Americans, lawmakers, and global partners about the strategic and moral imperative of keeping Taiwan free and independent from Communist China’s rule—preserving democracy, human rights, and regional stability in the face of escalating threats. The Global Freedom Alliance Building international coalitions to expose and counter communist influence worldwide, with a sharp focus on resisting China’s aggressive expansion. We’ll provide research, legislative briefings, and public awareness campaigns to help freedom-loving nations and individuals stand firm against authoritarian control.
