The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is a progressive multi-issue research center and public policy think tank founded in 1963. It promotes policies aimed at advancing social, economic, and racial justice, environmental sustainability, peace, and democratic participation through research, advocacy, and public education.
IPS typically supports legislation related to economic inequality, tax reform, labor rights, climate change and environmental protection, healthcare access, corporate accountability, foreign policy reform, and reductions in military spending.
IPS is primarily funded through foundation grants, individual donations, and philanthropic contributions.
IPS has worked with progressive advocacy coalitions and initiatives such as the Poor People's Campaign and the New Internationalism Project, and has been associated with prominent scholars and activists including Phyllis Bennis and John Cavanagh.
