The Institute for American Values, founded in 1987, is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that contributes intellectually to strengthening families and civil society in the U.S. and the world. With the leadership of David Blankenhorn, the Institute's president, and Jean Bethke Elshtain of the University of Chicago, the chair of its Board of Directors, the Institute seeks to bring fresh knowledge to bear on the challenges facing the American family and civil society. Through its Malta Forum, its Council on Family Law, and its academic and professional advisory committees, which bring together many of the nation's most distinguished scholars and analysts from across the human sciences and from across the political spectrum, the Institute seeks to bridge the gap between scholarship and policymaking, bringing new information and analyses to the attention of policy makers in government, opinion makers in the media, and decision makers in the private sector and in civil society. The Institute has become widely recognized as an important contributor to our national debate. Copies of Institute publications, such as Elizabeth Marquardt’s Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce and The Islam/West Debate: Documents from a Global Debate on Terrorism, U.S. Policy and the Middle East as well as Why Marriage Matters: Twenty-Six Conclusions from the Social Sciences, our most recent reports to the nation, are available for purchase from the Institute. Copies of other Institute books, reports, and working papers are also available for purchase. Through its an annual budget of about $1,000,000, financed primarily by tax-deductible contributions from foundations and individuals and the sale of publications, it is able to support a staff of eight. The Institute's affiliate scholars work in regional or home offices on projects concerning motherhood, marriage, the effects of divorce on children, and civil society.
