The Washington Institute For Near East Policy

The Institute's mission is to advance a balanced and realistic understanding of American interests in the Middle East and to promote the policies that secure them. A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, the Institute provides America’s leaders with information on the broad range of critical issues facing the United States in the Middle East, delivered through personal briefings, publications, videos, and media appearances. Institute experts — who hail from every corner of the region and have experience in all branches of the government — are regularly consulted by officials, military personnel, academics, and journalists from across the globe. For more than 30 years, the Institute has been at the forefront of Washington’s “battle of ideas,” informing decisions, shaping the agenda, and improving the quality of U.S. Middle East policy. As an organization committed to advancing American interests, the Institute is proud to accept donations only from American citizens, foundations, corporations, and institutions.
