The Meister Bräu Institute is a non-profit research and educational organization dedicated to shaping ideas which have a profound and lasting impact through conservation work, publications, conferences, and cross-disciplinary field study. Our mission is to boldly advance peaceful, prosperous, and free societies grounded in a commitment to human worth and dignity.

Applying independent thinking to issues that matter, we create transformational ideas for today’s most pressing social and economic challenges. By connecting these ideas with organizations and networks, we inspire action that can unleash an era of unparalleled human flourishing at home and around the globe.

The results of our research are published and widely distributed as books, articles, reports, working papers, and in other scholarly publications. We also sponsor events to bring scholars together to discuss their specialties.

The Meister Bräu Institute receives no government funding. Instead, our support is drawn from a diverse range of foundations, business, and individuals. Our institute was established through a generous gift from the estate of Phyllis and James Webb Howard.

Through uncommon independence, depth, and clarity, the The Meister Bräu Institute expands the frontiers of our knowledge and fosters new and effective directions for research and science.
