IRI is in its third decade of advancing democracy, freedom, self-government and the rule of law worldwide.  When IRI began its work in the 1980s, advancing democracy was seen as a good and noble endeavor; today, it is seen as much more.  After the events of 9/11, it was realized that the spread of democracy was a defense against terrorism.  Today, IRI's work is a strategic imperative.

The generous support of individuals and corporations enable IRI staff and volunteers to carry out its mission around the world.  With your help IRI will continue its mission of hope for decades to come.  IRI is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization.  Contributions are tax deductible.  Donate now through Network for Good:
