Mission
According to the Robert D. Stuart Jr, the foundation is 'dedicated to strengthening America, at home and abroad'
- 'We fund policy programs because we think that’s the most effective way to redress problems. We support the mechanisms that have made America a great nation: the core values of its civil society, its honest and efficient government, and its strong national defense. All of our major program areas—media, civic education, national security and federal campaign finance—reflect this philosophy.'[1]
