The Eagleton Institute of Politics was first-of-its-kind when founded in 1956. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2026, we continue to be one-of-a-kind, uniquely linking the study and practice of politics and leading the way in civic education and engagement. Through nonpartisan research, scholarship, education programs, and public outreach, Eagleton supports individuals from the voter registration process to the voting booth; fosters public understanding of the political context; provides resources and training in the process of political campaigning; and engages all of us in talking across difference to build a stronger democracy.
Support from friends and alumni, like you, has helped Eagleton thrive for 70 years in the practice of studying politics, inspiring engagement, and improving democracy. Your generous tax-deductible gift can help us look forward to 70 more.
