Founded in 1979, the Claremont Institute publishes the Claremont Review of Books, sponsors Publius and Lincoln Fellowships for rising young conservative leaders, and administers a variety of public policy programs, including Americans for Victory Over Terrorism, our Bal...listic Missile Defense Project, the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, the Center for Local Government, and the Salvatori Center for the American Constitution. Our staff regularly provides commentary on current events for national print and broadcast media. Our family of websites includes our homepage, www.claremont.org, our Victory Over Terrorism site, www.avot.org, and our missile defense site, www.missilethreat.com. The Claremont Institute's work is national in scope, but gives special emphasis to the problems of our country's most populous state, California, where the Institute is based. The scholarship and publications of the Claremont Institute extend from strategic to literary studies, from modern economics to classical philosophy—in short, to all those subjects upon which free men must draw to preserve and to perfect their liberty.

The Claremont Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Donations to the Institute are tax-deductible.
