The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) is an
independent nonprofit research organization committed to studying
US domestic and foreign policy. ISPU's research aims to increase
understanding of key policy issues and how they impact various communities
within America.
The Institute was established on the premise that every community
must address, debate, and contribute to the pressing issues that
face our nation. It is our hope that this effort will give voice
to the diversity of our country and provide alternative perspectives
to the current policy-making echelons of the political, academic
and public-relations arenas of the United States. Based on this
approach, ISPU produces scholarly publications that build on the
ideas of various communities in the United States.
The Institute is governed by a Board of Trustees which is responsible
for the general supervision and the funding of ISPU, the approval
of its areas of research and for the safeguarding of the independence
of its work. In addition ISPU relies on the direction of a Board
of Directors, who are responsible for the day-to-day management
of ISPU, and its various departments. The Executive Director is
its chief administrative officer.
In order to maintain an independent posture, ISPU relies on funds
from foundations, corporations and individuals. Other revenue is
generated through grants, providing educational services and the
sale of publications.
