About the Tholos Foundation:
Founded in 1985 at the request of President Ronald Reagan, the Tholos Foundation is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to advancing the principles of economic liberty around the globe. We firmly believe that free markets, limited government, secure property rights, and the spirit of individual enterprise offer the most promising path to global prosperity, individual freedom, and a more peaceful world.
Our mission is to champion free-market economics as the essential foundation for building thriving societies. We understand that when markets operate with minimal government interference—when property ownership is secure, regulations promote competition rather than stifle it, and individuals have the freedom to innovate and take risks—the results are transformative. Economic growth accelerates, lifting people out of poverty. Individuals gain the power to chart their own economic destinies, supporting their families and fulfilling their aspirations. Nations become more stable and secure as economic opportunity provides a path away from conflict and extremism.
The Tholos Foundation achieves its mission through a multi-faceted approach:
Rigorous Research: We conduct in-depth research that demonstrates the real-world impact of policies, providing policymakers with the evidence necessary to make informed decisions that benefit their citizens.
Strategic Coalitions: We establish coalitions to promote solutions, working with legislators, think tanks, and grassroots organizations to inform policies that foster growth and opportunity.
Global Thought Leadership: We convene international dialogues that bring together policymakers, leaders, and scholars to exchange ideas and explore transformative power.
Education and Outreach: We develop educational resources and public awareness campaigns to inform a new generation about unlocking human potential and building a better future.
