Giving to the Institute

Gifts enhance our capacity to help state and local government and nonprofit organizations devise and implement public policies that best serve Missouri's citizens. Gifts will be used to:

  • Fund research and policy analysis on critical public policy issues
  • Make evidence-based research available to policymakers
  • Provide forums for policymakers to discuss important issues of the day
  • Provide analytical and evaluation services to nonprofit organizations
  • Support other public policy activities of the donor's choice


Gifts make a difference and we appreciate those willing to support services to government and nonprofit organizations.
