Institute of Current World Affairs

DONATE NOW

Your tax-deductible donation is vital to help us pursue our mission of sending young women and men abroad to acquire deep knowledge of foreign countries and cultures—a mission as important today as when the Institute of Current World Affairs was founded in 1925. Institute Fellows have become some of our nation’s leading experts in foreign affairs, based on the brilliant and still unique fellowships designed by our founders Charles R. Crane and Walter Rogers. We continue their tradition with your support. 

Donations to the Institute directly support Fellows in the field. Your donation will help to make our nation and the world community wiser and stronger—our ultimate purpose.

“At first glance, this group may not look so impressive with its collective rear end sinking into the cushions. However, according to political scientists as well as some of my own (middle class) Chinese friends, these are the people who will quite likely determine the future of the country’s political system, and thus, the direction of China as a whole. The basic idea here is that an increasingly wealthy middle class focused on safeguarding its property will be more likely than any other force to push for democratic and legal reforms; you need a bourgeois class before you can have a bourgeois ‘revolution’.” [read newsletter]
