About The Frontier Institute:
Founded in 2020, The Frontier Institute believes in solving problems with more freedom not more government. When government gets in the way of people pursuing their dreams, we elevate powerful stories and sound policy solutions to break down these barriers so all Montanans can thrive.
OUR PRINCIPLES
- Economic Opportunity Empowers People
- When Montanans Control Their Own Healthcare Decisions, Our Communities Thrive
- Responsible Use of our Abundant and Beautiful Land Sustains the Frontier Way of Life
- Respect for Individual Rights is Essential to the Spirit of the West
- A Just, Fair and Accurate Criminal Justice System Best Promotes Public Safety
OUR GOALS
Red Tape Relief – Montanans face thousands of regulations that make it harder to find a job, start a business or build a home. Frontier Institute is working to eliminate unnecessary and burdensome regulations that hold back entrepreneurs from solving Montana’s biggest challenges.
Fiscal Responsibility – Montanans are being taxed out of their homes. Frontier Institute is working to spotlight reckless government spending that drives taxation and promote fiscal restraint.
Healthcare Reform – Our healthcare system is broken. With bureaucratic middlemen and the government in control, the result has been higher costs, less access and lower quality. Frontier Institute is working to remove government barriers to free choice and empower patients with control of their health decisions.
Active Forest Management – Every season, forest fires seem to get worse. Frontier Institute is raising public awareness about how proactive forest management can help prevent catastrophic forest fires.
Education Freedom – The quality of our kids’ education shouldn’t be determined by their zip code. Frontier Institute brings key partners together to advance efforts that provide parents more freedom to find education options that best fit their child’s needs.
