Thomas B. Fordham Institute

Washington, DC 20006

The Thomas B. Fordham Institute is a sister organization to the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. Chester E. Finn runs both organizations. From the Institute's website:

Although Institute and Foundation share staff and offices, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute is an independent entity with its own 501[c]3 designation. In addition to expending some of its own resources on the work described above, it seeks and may receive grants, contracts and gifts to augment its capacity to pursue such work. The Institute both conducts project work itself and enters into agreements with other organizations and individuals to help carry out this work.
