The Illinois Policy Institute has been tackling corruption and dismantling Illinois’ political machine for the past 20 years. We do that by sharing stories and information politicians and legacy media either don’t bother with or don’t want you to see.
Change to get Illinois back on a more prosperous path requires giving families in Illinois actionable information. That’s what the Illinois Policy Institute is doing for people like you.
But we rely on your support to make that happen. Individuals like you make our work possible. You are the change Illinois needs.
The Illinois Policy Institute is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
