Braver Angels
Contributing intellectually to strengthening families and civil society in the U.S. and the world
The Institute for American Values, founded in 1987, is a private, nonpartisan organization that contributes intellectually to healthy civil discourse in the US.

From the grassroots however, our volunteer leaders (supported by a small staff) leverage Braver Angels programs and unique organizing structure to impact community life and American institutions.Specifically, our efforts are focused on:GrassrootsAcademiaMediaPolitics & GovernmentThe root of our organizing, however, begins in the transformation of our attitudes towards each other. The foundation of all our activities is what we refer to as patriotic-empathy: the idea that our love for our country is shown by our concern for our fellow citizens.
