Learn More About Ways to Give

Bequest

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further AEI's mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support AEI.

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Gift Annuity

Gift annuities allow you to transfer your cash or stock to the American Enterprise Institute in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed payments (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life.

Our Mission

The American Enterprise Institute is a public policy think tank dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world. The work of our scholars and staff advances ideas rooted in our belief in democracy, free enterprise, American strength and global leadership, solidarity with those at the periphery of our society, and a pluralistic, entrepreneurial culture.

"The American Enterprise Institute stands at the center of a revolution in ideas of which I, too, have been a part. Your institution's remarkably distinguished body of work is testimony to the triumph of the think tank.... The most important American scholarship comes out of our think tanks, and no think tank has been more influential than the American Enterprise Institute."

- Ronald Reagan, receiving the 1988 Francis Boyer Award
