    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Niskanen Center staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.


    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $200,000 to the Niskanen Center to support its work on immigration policy. The Niskanen Center, a libertarian think tank, seeks to reduce barriers to immigration by developing and disseminating information, arguments, and policy ideas.

    This follows our January 2018 support and falls within our focus area of immigration policy. It represents an “exit grant” that will provide the Niskanen Center immigration team with an additional year of support.
