Help Steamboat Institute Make the Case for Freedom!
When people ask me what they can do to fight the speedy creep of socialism and critical race theory… I’m going to tell them to donate to the Steamboat Institute. They aren’t a think tank, they are a battle tank.

We know that our nation’s founding principles and a limited government, foster natural rights and are keys to prosperity and a thriving economy. We also know that we face an uphill battle to reinvigorate these ideals on which our nation was founded.
Your gift to Steamboat Institute helps to get out the message of freedom! With your support, we champion limited government free market capitalism, and individual rights and responsibilities.
Help Steamboat Institute win hearts and minds for freedom all across our nation!

Endowment for the Future of Liberty
To ensure the continuation of our work in educating and inspiring future generations to defend liberty, Steamboat Institute established “The Steamboat Institute Endowment for the Future of Liberty.”
On July 31, 2025, SI kicked off a campaign to grow its Endowment for the Future of Liberty from $330,000 to $1 million, with a deadline of August 23, 2025.
Led by a dollar-for-dollar matching gift provided by SI Board Member Mark Stevens and his wife, Mary, SI successfully met the challenge, raising $1 million to increase the total endowment fund to $1.3 million.
OUR NEXT GOAL: increase the endowment to $3 million.
This is an important step in securing SI’s long-term future.
