Goldwater Institute
U.S. conservative-libertarian
The Goldwater Institute is a Phoenix-based conservative and libertarian policy think tank funded entirely by private donors and right-leaning foundations. It advocates for limited government, free markets, school choice, and constitutional originalism through research, lobbying, and litigation. Its stance toward the Trump second term is mixed: it aligns on priorities like school choice and dismantling DEI programs, but it pursues an independent libertarian agenda that does not simply follow the administration's lead.
Owned byIndependent 501(c)(3) nonprofit; no single owner. Governed by a board of directors that includes Barry Goldwater Jr.
