Capital Research Center

Founded in 1984, the Capital Research Center (CRC) aims to investigate how foundations, charities, and various nonprofit organizations allocate their funds and engage in political activities—often in ways that donors may not have intended and might find troubling. From its inception, CRC has highlighted how these organizations can be influenced by special interest groups, which can lead to actions that threaten the freedoms of Americans. Currently, our work encompasses the analysis of labor unions, environmental organizations, and a wide range of activist groups. We also monitor crony capitalists who seek to benefit from government regulations and misuse taxpayer funds. We’re committed to challenging the political establishment in Washington, regardless of party affiliation—be it Republican, Democrat, or others. Our findings are shared through articles on our website, contributions to newspapers and magazines, and published books. We also serve as a reliable resource for commentators and members of the media. While we have a distinct perspective that champions free markets, constitutional governance, and individual freedom, our commitment to the truth guides our journalists and researchers as they follow the evidence. The Capital Research Center operates as a tax-exempt organization and maintains strict independence. We do not engage in contract work or accept any government funding—not a single dollar. Our vital efforts are supported entirely by voluntary donations. We are proud to be the Capital Research Center—"America’s investigative think tank."
