Invest in Better Policy
Why invest
A lean, independent organization with results you can count.
You are not just donors; you are investors and partners. Our independence is our greatest asset, and our Champions make it possible.
Every dollar funds research, public-records litigation, amicus briefs and the op-eds that carry them to national audiences.

What your investment does
Government accountability
We use public-records law as a “scalpel” to expose inefficiency. Our legal victory against the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department proved that transparency is an enforceable public right.
Economic opportunity
Research on credit access and mortgage policy that challenges the rules pushing Americans away from ownership and toward permanent dependency.
National legal influence
With two federal amicus briefs filed and more forthcoming, SPPI is a serious voice in defending property rights.
Strategic communications
Research must shape debate, not sit on a shelf. Our op-eds run in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Fox News, National Review, The Hill and American Banker.
