If you would like to support our work please consider becoming a donor or subscriber.
The IEA is an educational charity – and it is the continued generosity of our supporters that allows us to develop our extensive and increasing range of activities, across areas such as publications, media, events and student outreach.
We are independent of political parties and vested interests and receive no government funding – or corporate donations tied to policy areas or outcomes.
That means we are totally reliant on our supporters to help us:
-
Produce acclaimed books and journals that spread the free market message far and wide.
-
Put scores of young free marketers through our intern programme – helping create the next generation of leaders and opinion formers.
-
Stage around 100 events a year – from discreet gatherings to lectures attended by hundreds.
-
Generate over 1,000 media appearances a year – across print, TV, radio and the internet.
-
Introduce ambitious educational initiatives into schools and universities throughout the UK – and beyond.
-
Attract over a million hits a month to our website.
-
Reach thousands through our eNewsletter.
And we want to do more. So, if you’d like to support the IEA you can do this by:
