Thanks to Cato’s Sponsors, civic-minded people throughout the world understand that the ideals that animated the American Revolution are alive today and that substantial numbers of Americans, including growing numbers of young people, believe in those principles.

At Cato, we’re honored by the partnerships so many great lovers of liberty have made with us. It is a great pleasure to work with Cato’s Sponsors, their families, and their friends to support our shared focus on freedom and prosperity. Many legacies of Cato’s Sponsors may already be known to you through the Institute’s named programs, such as the B. Kenneth Simon Lecture, which closes each year’s Constitution Day, or the Joseph K. McLaughlin Lecture Series, which brings guest speakers to the Institute for discussions focused on progress and its challenges.

Generous Sponsors have also recently planned gifts in their estates to support Cato’s educational programs, such as the Bastiat Scholarship for students to attend Cato University programs. We thought you’d enjoy hearing directly from a few graduates of recent Cato University sessions:

Thank you for giving me such an inspirational and educational liberty event. I am very humbled and take your investment in me very seriously. I look forward to doing the same for someone in the future.

— Nathaniel, Cato University: College of Law

Thank you for providing the chance to gain some insight into the fundamentals of law. I’m one of the youngest students, as I’m still in high school, and the Cato Institute has not only taught me the ideas of liberty but also the idea of pursuing my dreams. Thank you once again. One day, I’ll be in your place, and I will sponsor a student who desires a secure future.

— Hiran, Cato University, College of Law

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you for the generous gift of this sponsorship. This conference has played a crucial role in forming my philosophy and influencing my ambitions, so I can thank you enough for making this possible.

— Elise, Cato University, College of History and Philosophy

We thank all our sponsors for partnering with Cato to defend the ideas that will create a freer, more prosperous world.
