Programs & Activities

Program 1

$600K

Academic Programs: These programs consist of seminars and one-on-one mentoring with Princeton University students and with promising students in high school, college, and graduate school at other institutions. These activities seek to form young people to cherish personal virtue and responsibility and the pursuit of truth. In 2024 we continued to expand our programs for high school students.

Program 2

$545K

Other Programs: The Witherspoon Institute occasionally provides advice, grants, or other support for organizations or scholars whose missions are very similar to its own. The Institute does not accept applications for such support. Such support develops out of preexisting relationships that the Institute may have with scholars through the Institutes own programming. In 2024 the Institute provided such advice and support for programs at Princeton University and other institutions.

Program 3

$366K

Public Opinion: This program consists primarily of the work of Public Discourse, an online journal located at www.thepublicdiscourse.com. It publishes one short article per weekday by numerous authors on topics of interest to the Institute. Occasionally we also publish longer articles and interviews. Articles are organized around what we consider to be the five pillars of decent and dynamic societies: the dignity of the human person, marriage and the family, the rule of law, higher education and academic research, and business and the market.
