2014 budget
According to Bradley's current spending policy, there is $31 ,675,000 available for all grantmaking in 2014.
From this amount, $1,000,000 is deducted for the Bradley Prizes and $240,000 is deducted for Director-,
staff-, and Bradley Prize Selector-advised contributions. The remaining $30,43S,000 is then divided into
four equal parts, one for each of Bradley's four grantmaking sectors.
Therefore, úhe secúors' 2014 budgets total $7,608,750. lf rounding down to $7,605,000, this represents
a modest, $90,000, or 1 .2o/o, increase over 2013's $7,515,000 sector budgets, as shown in the chart
below. Since Bradley's grantmaking program was restructured into the four sectors in 2009, its sectors
budgetarily will have shrunk 25.8o/o.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: $5O,OOO

WITH REQUEST:
STAFF: Dianne J. Sehler
MEETING DATE: 212512014
PROPOSAL lD#: 20131148

BACKGROUND: The Alexander Hamilton Society (AHS) requests an
operati-ng grant of $150, 000.
Conceived by Princeton professor Aaron Friedberg, AHS is a
network of schol-ars, students, and practitioners that seeks to
do for the foreíqn/defense policy community what the FederaÌist
Society has done for the Ìegal profession: attract members who
share certain attitudes; encourage constructive debate and
intellectuaÌ exchange; legitimize and disseminate ideas ignored
or misrepresented in the medla, o[ campus, and by qovernment
bureaucracies; guide young people in the development of their
careers; and assist senior professionals identify promising
candidates for hiring and promotion. fn fact, Federalist Society
founders initially advised AHS how to adapt the Society's model
to its particular circumstances. AHS al-so endeavors to foster
the development of a national strateglc studies movement, much
as Princeton's Madlson Program has inspired a movement to
reinvigorate the study of American ideas and institutions.
Since its launch in 20I0l AHS has formed fifty student and three
professional chapters. Last year, it sponsored 300 events, with
over 11,000 students, faculty, and professionals attending. A
number of faculty advisors to student chapters are Bradley
Fellowship professors in history and political science as well
as in securì-ty studles. Additionally, AHS has held five national
conferences and established partnerships with several university
academic centers, including the Bradley-funded Center for the
Study of Liberal Democracy at UVü-Madison. This year, AHS will
work to establish 10 additional chapters and sponsor f60
additional events. A grant of $150,000 is requested to support
AHS's $730,000 operating budget.
STAtr'F RECOMMENDATION: AHS embodies principles consonant with
Bradley's mission: belief in America's exceptionallsm;
appreciation of the economic underpinnings of American power and
prosperity; an understanding of the realities of po\^/er politics
and the necessity for military strength; and determinatlon to
make prudent use of America's national power. A grant of $50,000
is recommended.

Dr. Peter Feaver
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $17,000
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: $15,000
PROJECT TITLE: To support the rVew Faces conference

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND: Duke University requests a grant of $17,000 to
support an annual conference for junior security scholars at the
Triangle Institute for Security Studies (TISS) .
Establ-ished 1n 1958, TISS is a consortium of Duke, University of
NC-Chapel- Hil1, and North Carolina State University. It advances
research in national security and engages with the public and
military on defense-related .issues. TISS is directed by Dr.
Peter Feaver, a Bradley Fellowship professor, accomplished
schofar, and seasoned policy practitioner.
Now in its 1-5th year, the annual- conference Junior and
InterdiscipTlnary Faces of International Security, referred to
as New Facesl is a core TISS project and one of the key pillars
of Duke's Bradley Feflowship program. fts purpose is to
strengthen the rising generation of security studies scholars by
annually assisting approximately B0 of the finest among them,
both from TTSS member schoo-l-s and elsewhere, establ-ish
credentials at a critical point in their careers. New Faces does
so by offering graduate students opportunity to gain critical
exposure for their research, improve their teaching and
analytical skills, and publish in the TISS journal American
DipTomacy. New Faces also encourages participants to move beyond
the often parochial concerns of scholarship into involvement
with the broader policy community. A grant of $17,000 1s
requested to fund direct conference costs. Duke will cover all
indirect costs.
STÀFF RECOMMENDATION: The field of security studies faces a
number of serious problems. Most pronounced among these is that
security-oriented political scientists and historians are
margj-nalized in most academic communities simply because they
study war and consider the use of force. .l'/eu Faces addresses
this problem by helping to build a broader network among junior
security schofars so that they can continue to collaborate
beyond their years of formal education. A grant of $15,000 is
recommended.

MEET¡NG DATE: 212512014

BACKGROUND:The Intercolleglate Studies Institute (ISI) requests
a $300,000 grant to support operations ($200,000) and the
Student Societies initiative ($100,000) .
ISI works with college students to improve their understanding

of constitutional democracy, market economics, and civif
society. Through a variety of programs - lectures, conferences,
graduate fellowships, summer institutes, debates, and online
studies courses - ISI has established representation at 1,500
schools in al-l 50 states and has developed a membership network
of 22,000 students and faculty. Its publications recommend
courses on lrlestern thought/US history at schools nationwide and
carry commentary on academic affairs. The ISI book program
reprints classic texts and publishes original titles, for
example Robert P. George's Conscience and fts Enemies (2013).
ISI's student journalism program, the Collegiate Network 1s a
consortium of 62 campus newspapers (including Marquette's The
Warrior) with an aggregate circulation of 1.3 million. In
effect, it is the only resource to which student writers and
editors of alternative publications can look for guidance,
technical advice, and financial support.
In addition to generaÌ support, ISI seeks a one-time qrant to
seed Student Societies. Through this initiative, ISI proposes to
estabfish seff-directed student chapters at 20 key campuses.
Chapters will compete for ISI grants by submitting proposafs and
implementing programs lectures, debates, and book cfubs. They

PROJECT TITLE: To support general operations and a report on K-12 education

WITH REQUEST:
PROPOSAL lD#: 20'1 31 136

BACKGROUND: The National Association of Scholars (NAS) requests a
grant of $170,000 to support qeneral operations ($70,000) and a
special project on K-I2 education ($100,000).
NAS works to reverse the dominant campus culture that diminishes
the intellectual heritage of the ilúest by underminíng academlc
freedom, reason, and individual excellence. Vlith over 3r000
members, NAS supports serious professors in their efforts to
return the academy to its traditional purpose. For example, 60
programs on the study of free institutions have emerged in the
two decades since NAS members began to systematically encourage
schoofs to restore the teachlnq of Western civilization and
America's founding.
NAS conducts studies of curriculum at various schools; presses
for an end to race-conscious admissions policies by producing
careful research; and publlshes the journal Academic Questions.
Its president (and author of Lwo Encounter books) Dr. Peter Vlood
contributes to the Chronicfe of Hiqher Education. Last year, NAS
published studies on the teaching of history, what schools want
students to read, and campus life at liberal arts colleges.
These reports \^/ere covered by the WaLl- Street Journal-, LA Times,
San Francisco Chronicle, lilashington Post, and NPR.
Projects currently underway examine the academy's compromising

standards of scientific inquiry, "socj-a1 justice" and "new
civics" cÌassroom trends, and Common Core state standards.
Recently, FOXNews broadcast an NAS-inspired special on the
campus "sustainability" movement, which was re-aired five times,
leading the ratings every time. Last March, NAS hosted a 25th
anniversary conference, with 250 guests, including a large
number of young scholars.
The special proj ect proposed here is a report which will

document the nation's best K-I2 schools and draw from them
recommendations that can be widely applied. A grant of $170,000
is requesLed to support NAS' çI.2 million budget, $200,000 of
which will fund the K-I2 proj ect.
STAI'F RECOMMENDATION: Combining serious critique with efforts to
institutionally penetrate university life, NAS is committed to
building the infrastructure through which academic renewal might
be advanced. A $25,000 grant is recommended.

PROJEGT TITLE: To support economic research

WITH REQUEST:
MEETING DATE; 212512014

BACKGROUND:Texas A&M Unlversity, Private Enterprise Research
Center (PERC), requests a grant of $89,211 to support economic
policy research on labor force participation.
Entitled Where Have ALL the Workers Gone? this proposal wil-l
provide economic analysis supportive of reforms in those
programs most responsible for the dec-Iine in the numbers of
working age Americans who choose employment over government
benefits and entitlements. Principal investigator and PERC
Director Dr. Thomas Savlng takes his starting point from the 103
reduction since 2003 in labor force participation among high
school graduates, age 25 and above. His proposed research will
test the hypothesis that the ma¡or contributors to employment
decline are programs that enhance the returns on non-working:
unemployment benefits; disabiJ-ity and Medicare; SNAP (food
stamps); and Medicaid and the Affordabfe Care Act. Dr. Saving
will then formulate reforms that preserve the basic purposes for
the programs while eliminating their negative effect on economic
growth and economic freedom.
As has been his practice over many years of researching
entitlements, Dr. Saving has identified discrete opportunities
to i-nfluence public and policy debates. The National Center for
Policy Analysis will continue to aggressively market Dr.
Saving's findings. A grant of $89,211 is requested. Total budget
costs are $94, 000 .
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Vüidely regarded for his seminal work on
Social Security/Medicare reform, University of Chicago-trained
economist Dr. Saving 1s an original architect of the investment-
based approach to retirement policy. Through hiqh-quality
economic research, he continues to develop sound intellectual
argumentation against the politically-motivated promise that
income inequality can be overcome by income transfers. Policy
makers committed to reform will find Dr. Saving's work product
vital to their efforts. A grant of $60,000 is recommended.

WITH REQUEST:

BAGKGROUND: The University of Virginia requests a grant of
$14,000 to sponsor the spring conference Steven Rhoads: On
Pofiticaf Economy and on the Biofoqical Foundations of Sexual-
Differences.
Retiring this springi, Professor Steven Rhoads has taught in the
Pol-itics Department at the University of Virginia for more than
four decades. Over his long career, he has instructed countless
undergraduates in the areas of political theory, political
economy, American politics, and public administration. He has
also been the mentor of many graduate students, including more
than 20 Bradley Fellows. His scholarship has been both extensive
and lnfluentiaf. The two works for which he is best known are
The Economist's View of the Worl-d (1985, Cambridge University
Press), one of the very few modern books 1n the field of
political economy, and Takinq Sex Differences Seriously (2004,

The Foundation for Research on Economics and the
BACKGROUND:
Environment (FREE) requests an operational grant of $40,000.
FREE specializes in the appllcation of science, free market
economic theory, and founding princlples to policy debates.
Through educational programming, it explains to influential
audiences how market processes, secure property rights, and
llmited government can foster not only a healthy environment but
prosperity and a robust civil society as well.
For the past many years, FREE's core program has been its
seminar series for federal judges. Classes on law and economics,
national security 1aw, and publlc policy have been conducted by
distinguished scholars, Nobel Laureate economists, and jurists
among them Ed Meese, Charles Murray, the fate James O. Wilson,
and John Goodman. Another conference program has been the series
Environmentaf Stewardship for ReTiqious Leaders for seminary
professors, the clergy, and others who hold environmental
stewardship as a religious obligation yet are often manipulated
by activist groups into lending their moral authority to
"social/environmental justice" causes that stand to have
profoundly negative impacts, especially on the poor.
This year, FREE is initiating the Yelfowstone Economlcs Seminars
for new Article III federaf judge clerks. The program is
designed to illustrate how free market principles can best
address controversial, emotionally-laden issues on the
environment. A smafler number of seminars, entitled the
Yellowstone Entrepreneurial Safons, will aÌso be organized to
illustrate the connections between federal management of the
environment and politics.
FREE operations also support research, publications, and
V,larriors and Quiet Waters (a civic initiative that brings
severely wounded veterans from military hospitals to Bozeman for
a week of physicaf and emotional therapy provided by fly-
fishing. ) Toward its $360,000 budget, FREE requests a $40,000
grant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Established with assistance from former
Bradtey Director Clay La Force, EREE has been offering
educational seminars for more than two decades on perspectives
consistent with Bradley's mission. A grant of $20,000 is
recommended.

GONTACT:
Mr. Jeffrey Kueter

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND:The George C. Marshall Institute (GMI) requests a
grant of $65,000 to support general operations.
GMI conducts obj ective analyses of scientific and technical
issues underlying contentious policy debates on the environment,
energy, technology, and national security. Research findings are
disseminated through congressionaf testimony, workshops,
publications, popular commentary, speaking engagements, and
collaboratlons with like-minded institutions. GMI a.l-so hosts
public education events and sponsors a respected roundtable on
science and public policy for j ournalists and government
officials. Its work is overseen by an active board of
distinguished scientists, including Princeton physicist Vüllliam
Happer and NASA scientist Roy Spenser, author of Encounter's The
Great Gl-obal, Warminq Blunder as well as a Broadside on "bad
science and bad po1icy. "
At the heart of GMI's purpose is concern with the growing misuse
of science by special interest groups and the pressure they
exert on scientific institutions competing for government and/or
philanthropic resources. That trend is most evident in research
related to climate change/ energy/ space-based military
technology, and defense. GMI scientists provide hard scientific
data necessary to resist the impositlon of regulations and
policies in these areas based on conclusions that deviate from
scientifically accurate assessments. They afso monitor,
document, and expose specific cases of manípulated scientific
evidence. Last year, GMT launched a new project examining the
threats posed by cyber warfare to US national and economj-c
security as well as the merits and limitations of proposed
responses. A $65,000 grant to support GMI's $515,000 budget is
requested.
STAFF RECOMMENDÀTION: GMI stands as the front-l-ine defense
against attempts to replace fact with unproven hypotheses and
oplnion as the basis for decision making. Staff recommends a
grant of $65,000.

PROJECT TITLE: To support the George C. Marshall Fellows Program

WITH REQUEST:

BAGKGROUND: The Heritage Foundation requests a grant of çI25,000
to support the Marshall Fellows program.
Created three years â9o, the Marshall Fel-l-ows program each year
prepares a carefully selected group of I4-IB young leglslative
aides and other professionafs for careers in leadership
positions within the security and foreign policy establishments.
The program includes: an active schedule of lectures by
distinguished experts on international relati-ons, military
history, and military affairsi interactions between Fel-l-ows and
those who serve in the mil-itary; and visits to the Gettysburg
battlefield, the Army Vüar College, the Marine Corps University,
and West Point. Next year, the Virginia Military fnstitute wj-ll
join with Heritage to conduct a simulation of the WIIIII Yalta
Conference on the VMI campus. Marshall Fellows will lead VMI
students in negotiating the issues faced by the great powers,
serving as leaders of US, British, and Soviet dlplomatic teams.
In this wây, Fellows will have opportunity to exercise their
strategic diplomacy skifls while at the same time educating
students.
Dr. James Carafano (US Army, ret.), director of Heritage's
Institute for Internatlonal Studies and its Center for Foreign
Policy Studies, oversees the program and serves as mentor to the
Fellows. A grant of çI25,000 is requested, $100,000 of which
supports di-rect program costs. Heritage's annual budget is $79
million.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The idea for the Marshall Fellows program
\^/as inspired by a series of Philanthropy Roundtable meetings on
national security that Dr. Carafano organized over the course of
several years. Participants, including Bradley staff, expressed
concern with the absence or inadequacy of graduate programs in
security studies and international relations that impart
knowledge of defense issues to future experts and equip them
with skills necessary to take public stands for policies that
protect the nation. This program assists in filling that niche.
Staff, therefore, recommends awarding a grant of $80,000 to
Heritage in support for the direct costs of the Marshall Fellows
program.
Note: This request \^/as deferred by the Board at its November

meeting.

PROJECT TITLE: To support the Strategic Asia Program and PLA Conference

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND: The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) requests
a grant of $250,000 to support Strategic Asia (Se¡ and the
People's Liberation Army Conference.
Promoting US interests in Asia, NBR draws upon leading 1n-house
and outside specialists to conduct studies, develop policy,
organize conferences, interact with the media, and consult with
government official-s. Unparalleled in producing high-quality
advanced research on forces shaping Asian affairs, NBR also
works closely with Pacific Command, reinvigorates the role of
academic Asian studies, and serves as a clearinghouse for policy
research on Asia.
With major contributions from Princeton scholar Aaron Friedberg
and AEI scholar Nicholas Eberstadt, SA analyzes all aspects of
regional affairs affecting America's security: China's rise; US
alliances; Koreai Russia's engagement in Asia; inter-state
relations; the internaf politics of Asian states; and Asia-
Middle East links. Last year's organizinq theme for SA was the
role of nucfear \^/eapons in the grand strategies of key Asian
states. This year's is the future of US alliances in Asia. The
program also supports the unique onfine SA database and
accompanying geospatial maps, âû initiative begun in the early
1990s to al-low users to view real-time satellite imagery of
China's military assets, force locations, exercises, and
overseas operations. This resource has greatly enhanced the
ability of specialists to analyze developments in Asia.
Like SA, the PLA Conference addresses critical US foreign policy
and security interests in the Asia-Paclfic. It was established
by AEI in the 1980s and noh/, under NBR management, provides the
best possibl-e analysis of China's military, strategic
ob¡ectives, and capabilities. A $250,000 grant is requested.
NBR's budget is $4.4 million, $370,000 of which is allocated to
Strategì-c Asia and PLA programs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As US defense policymaking seems to be
increasingly driven fess by national security imperatives than
by budgetary faiÌure, preserving American interests in Asia and
supporting American allies have become ever more challenging. As
it has done for 25 years, NBR continues to exert influence in
discussion of this volatile region. A girant of $190'000 is
recommended for Strategic Asia and the PLA conference.

PROJECT TITLE: To support the Summer lnstitute and research on taxation

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND:The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
requests a $258,836 grant to support the 2014 Summer Institute
($152,120) and the Taxation and Economic Activity project
($106,7L6) .
NBER coordinates policy research from among its expansive

network of academic economists and then wldely disseminates
findings. One of its most effective distribution channels is the
annuaf 3-week Summer Institute which brings together almost
2,500 senior economists and promising, non-tenured academics
from 400 universities, agencies, centraf banks, and institutes
worldwide to critique ne\^/ research and lay groundwork for future
collaboration. The Institute includes more than 50 distinct
research meetings, hundreds of seminar presentations, one week
devoted to issues invol-ving global financial markets, and the
Marti-n Fel-dstein Lecture. Bradley funding is requested to
support attendance costs for 160 young schol-ars.
The second proposal component, for research on taxation, arose
from a 2008 Bradley working group on fiscal poJ-icy. It involves
upgrading NBER's TAXSIM model to better enable researchers
outside government to carry out detailed analyses of how the
current tax system and various alternatives affect economic
activity. Directed by NBER President James Poterba, this project
afso j-ncludes NBER's Tax Policy research seminar, which brings
research findings to the attention of policy-oriented economists
in Washington as well as the Trans-Atlantic Public Economics
Seminar, ât which NBER researchers share findings on tax policy
issues with their European peers. A $258,836 grant is requested.
NBER's budget is $36 million, of which the Summer Institute
accounts for $1.15 million.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: NBER is the nation's premier private
economic research organization. Its associates have included
many Nobel Laureate economists, some of whom, like Milton
Friedman, conducted their pioneering work under NBER auspices.
A $170,000 grant is recommended to support the two proposal
components presented above, to be all-ocated at the discretlon of
Professor Poterba.

president John Goodman offers a realistic alternative to the
Affordable Care Act. NCPA also disseminates research on the
economics of health care reform conducted by Bradley grant
recipient Dr. Thomas Saving, and it works closely with State
Policy Network members, conservative think tanks, and trade
associations.
NCPA has long been active in advancing Social Securlty and
Medicare reform. Additionally, it corrects media misinformati-on
on energy and environmental issues; supports the on-line
resource Debate Centraf for low-income high schoof students,'
conducts an advanced internship program for college students;
provides content for a number of conservative radio talk shows;
and maintalns an active social media program.
To advance arguments supportive of pro-growth tax reform, NCPA
proposes to develop and launch the Tax Analysis Center.
Utilizing a sophisticated dynamic tax mode1, the Center will
analyze the effects of proposed tax changes on individuals and
families at various income levels and ages. As is NCPA's
practice, results will be aggressively disseminated. NCPA
requests a $125,000 grant to support 1ts $5 million budget. The
new Tax Analysis Center is expensed at an additional $¿ million
over five years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: For more than thirty years, NCPA has
ensured that market-based solutions to public problems are given
a national platform. Time and again, it has demonstrated
adeptness in moving conservative j-deas through the policy
process. Staff, therefore, recommends a $100,000 grant.

GONTAGT:
Dr. Roy Godson

WITH REQUEST:
MEET|NG DATE: 212512014

BACKGROUND:The National Strategy Information Center (NSIC)
requests a grant of $375,000 to support general operations.
Directed by intelligence scholar/educator Dr. Roy Godson, NSIC
diagnoses deficiencies in US response to security threats
emanating from extreme Islamists, criminal elites, and armed
groups which operate as shadow rulers often in coflusion with
revisionist states (Russia, China, Iran) . It then innovates and
pilots techniques to strengthen response capabilitles;
communicates findings to defense practitioners,' and heightens
publlc understanding of these issues through the popular media,
for example NationaL Review.
One NSIC priority is what it terms "competitive soft po\^/er
engagement" (CSP), a necessary component of the struggle against
transnational adversaries, now operating in 50-100 weak states
with afmost haff the world's population. Recognízing that this
struggle is a deep battle of ideas and culture, NSIC's CSP
concept involves deploying to areas of conflict US professionals
who have been carefully trained in non-military techniques to
influence developments to the strategic advantage of the US.
Irùorking closely with segments of the miliLary, policymakers, and
friendly democracies, NSfC emphasizes the critical role of local
communitj-es in providing j-nformation to US fiefd officers a
rofe that cannot be fulfilled absent confidence in the integrity
of indigenous public security officials. To bolster that
integrity, NSIC trains US troops, particularly Special Forces,
to reach into the education of forelgn officials to foster
support for rule of law.
NSIC continues to develop curriculum for milltary/intelligence
schools. With the Jack Miller Center, it develops curriculum for
college government teachers that connects first principles to
current confl-icts. NSIC also continues to bring together senior
US defense practitioners (current and retired) from various
agencies in regular off-the-record discussion. To support its $Z
million budget, NSIC requests a $375,000 grant.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Despite wide recognltion that America's
enemies effectively use narrative, myth, and ideology to extend
their influence, official Vüashington has not even begun to
develop capabilities adequate to the task at hand. NSfC is, in
fact, the only resource, in or out of government, undertaking to
make "competitive soft power" a regular tool of US statecraft. A
$335,000 grant is recommended.

Washington, DC 20045-1000
CONTACT:
Mr. Scott Hodge

WITH REQUEST:

BAGKGROUND: The Tax Foundation (TF) requests a grant of $60,000
to support general operations.
TF produces accurate overviews of the impact of federal income,
state, and business taxes on individuals, families, and the
economy. fts work is grounded in the view that dissemination of
basic information about government finance is vital to the
foundation of sound policy in a free society. Vùhile its primary
audiences are journalists, legislators, and economists, TF also
presents accessible data to the public for use in making
informed polltical judgments. It is widely known for Tax Freedom
Day, the annual calculation of the day Americans will finally
have earned enough to pay off their taxes for the year.
TF provides facts and figures to undermine the politics of
"class warfare." At the federal fevel, it uses its sophisticated
tax simulation model to bulld the case for tax reform and
American competiveness. TF also conducts a 10-week educational
program on economics and tax theory for congressional staff,
with each class taught by a leading professor or public policy
scholar. At the state level-, it produces the annual State
Business Tax Cfimate Index,' contributes to State Policy Network
activities; fosters tax competition between states; and helps
grass-roots organì-zations assess various tax proposals.
To encourage judicial decisions that protect taxpayers, TF
f ocuses on hidden taxes and mu-ltiple taxatíon. Its work in these
areas is compl-imented by efforts to heighten public awareness of
the increasingty activist role courts have been taking in
steeríng the direction of tax pollcy. A grant of $60,000 is
requested to support TF's $3.3 miflion operating budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Vlith 15 years of experience, TF brings
authority to debates on fundamental tax reform and the question
of what tax system will be most conducive to economj-c growth.
The Waff Street Journaf, Investors Business Dai7y, and other
publications repeatedly cite TF studies. This has been
particu-larly true of its distributional analyses over the recent
past, âs many of the major Vüashington-based think tanks claiming
expertise in economic policy matters misrepresent the full
extent of tax progressivity. An operational grant of $50' 000 is
reconmended.

Princeton, NJ 08542
GONTACT:
Mr. Luis Tellez
PROJECT TITLE: To support the Seymour lnstitute

WITH REQUEST: George

BACKGROUND: The Wltherspoon Institute (VfI) requests a grant of
$160,000 to support the Seymour Instltute for Black Church and
Policy Studies.
A research and education center, WI is committed to "enhancing
public understanding of the principles of free and democratic
societies." Vlitherspoon fellows, resident scholars, and others
contribute to its mission through conferences, publications,
educational seminars, and individual projects.
As presented in this proposal, Bradley funding would support the
creation and launch of the William J. Seymour Institute for
Black Church and Policy Studies as an independent entity by mid-
year. The Instltute's purpose is to educate and train black
church leaders, the rising qeneration of church leaders, and
other interested parties about a proper understanding of the
difficult questions now confronting the black church as well as
policy inltiatives for their resofution. These questions largely
bear on marriage, freedom of conscience, poverty, and other
issues where progressive orthodoxies (claiming the mantle of
civil rights) and the traditional principles of the black church
are at odds.
To assist the Seymour Institute estabfish seff-sufficiency, WI
wlff undertake the following tasks: the deveJ-opment of a Board
of Directors,' the formation of the Black Church Commission on
Bioethics, Human Life, Family and Marriage; the organization of
the first in a series of annual Seminars on Rellgious Liberty,
the Black Fam1ly, and Marriage; and the development of fundì-ng
sources. Director of Seymour Institute programminq, Reverend
Eugene Rivers is a leading authority on both faith-based
initiatives for serving disadvantaged communities and youth
violence prevention. He is famil-iar to wide audiences through
his frequent appearances on prime-time cable and network
programs as well as for coveraqe by major print media of his
writings and work.
A grant of $160,000 is requested to fund, in equal parts, the
Seymour Institute, the Seminar on Religious Liberty, the BIack
Family and Marriage, and Witherspoon operating costs. For 2014,
WI expenses total ç2.8 million
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Given the fdeas and Instltutions sector's
interest in elevating the public and policy discourse, staff
recommends a grant of $50,000 to support the Seymour Institute.

CONTAGT:
Mr. Steven J. Buri
PROJECT TITLE: To support the work of George Gilder

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND:The Discovery Institute for Public Pollcy (DI)
requests a grant of $30,000 to support the work of George
Gilder.
This proposal addresses the public debate on capitalism that has
been engaged and, to a large extent, framed by its ideological
opponents. In response, DI provides students, teachers, clergy,
policymakers, and the public with arguments and information that
will help them defend economic freedom and the morality of the
market system. Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth, Poverty,
and Morality houses these efforts, to which Center Chair and DI
Co-Founder George Gilder's writing and speaking engagements are
key.
Championing the free market as the source of wealth creation and

prosperity, Mr. Gifder's New York Times best-seller lileal-th and
Poverty was published in 1981. President Reag'an's most
frequently quoted livlng author, Mr. Gilder produced a
thoroughly revised edition of the book with a foreword by Steve
Forbes, which was released in 2012 by Regnery Press. In 2013,
Regnery released Mr. Gilder's sequel to lñeaLth and Poverty.
Entitled KnowLedge and Power, the book argues that human
creativity - foundatlonal to prosperity - requires free
enterprise to flourish. It also disproves the accuracy of the
Keynesian demand model, which has dominated economic theory for
the past half-century. Knowfedge and Power was named "the book
of the year, maybe of the new milfennium" by Forbes Magazine.
To maximize the book's influence and apply its lessons in policy
and practice, Df's Center has undertaken a broad education
initiative, including outreach to opinion leaders; media spots;
speaking tours; the placement of articfes by Mr. Gilder 1n
Nationaf Review, Vlaff Street Journal-, and other print outlets;
online activities; and legislative testimony and briefings. Of
DI's ç4.2 million budget, the Center accounts for $500,000. A
$30,000 grant is requested.
STA-EF RECOMMENDATION: Glven Mr. Gilder's public prominence, the
Center's educational program stands to reach millions. A grant
of $10,000 to support Mr. Gifder's work is recommended.

ADDRESS:

Hillsdale, M!49242
GONTAGT:
Mr. John J. Miller

WITH REQUEST:

BACKGROUND:The Student Free Press Association (SFP) requests a
grant of $25,000 to support general operations.
The SFP is a membership organization of student journalists
directed by li/a tionaf Revielø and Waf f Street Journaf contributor
John Milfer. SFP recruits college-age writers, bloggers,
podcasters, and video makers to develop stories based on
original reporting. Now in its fourth year of operations, SFP
has more than 700 members, many attending top schools. Thelr
work ís posted on SFP/ s The CoTTege Fíx website, which is
promoted through social medj-a and popular websj-tes such as the
DaiTy Ca7Ler, Manhattan Institute's MindingtheCampus.com, and
ReaL Cl-ear Politics. Many SFP members afso receive exposure from
Fox Nation, which is an unofficial partner in its efforts, âs
well as lr/atjonal- Review OnLine, The Drudge Report, and the
online edition of the liall Street Journal, all of which provide
links to SfP.
Annually, SFP sponsors paid sunmer internships for its most
promising members. Each intern works directly with a veteran
journalist, for example Michael Barone, Larry Kudlow, William
McGurn, and Kimberly Strassel. Toward futfilling its 2014
budgetary requirement of $380,000, SFP requests a $25,000 grant.
STA.E'F RECOMMENDATION: Over the past two years, TheCoTTegeFix.com
has experienced growth of 700% to 1.4 million views per month.
This impressive statistic reflects both the high quality and
fresh content of its articles, particularly those exposing
scandals in higher education.
SFP's method of working with individual journalists rather than
college pubì-ications enables it to reach larger numbers of
student writers. To its credit, SFP has demonstrated skill in
identifying tal-ent and nurturing careers. One former intern,
Andrew Stiles, later became the first Bradley-funded Thomas
Rhodes Journal-ism Fellow, reporting for Nationaf Review OnLine.
Staff recommends a renewal grant of $10,000.
