Institute for Humane Studies

The Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) is an organization that promotes understanding of classical liberal ideas, such as individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. It supports students, educators, and researchers through educational programs, scholarships, and resources to foster dialogue and research around these principles. Founded in 1961, IHS aims to encourage a free society by cultivating informed advocates of personal responsibility and economic freedom, helping individuals develop the skills and knowledge to contribute positively to discussions about civil liberties and policy.
