Learn more about your impact

The McCain Institute is a nonpartisan organization inspired by Senator John McCain and his family’s dedication to public service. We are part of Arizona State University and based in Washington, D.C. Our programs defend democracy, advance human rights and freedom and empower character-driven leaders. Our unique power to convene leaders across the global political spectrum enables us to make a real impact on the world’s most pressing challenges. Our goal is action, not talk, and like Senator McCain, we are fighting to create a free, safe and just world for all.

A message from James McCain: “We are very grateful for your interest in supporting the work of the McCain Institute. You join us in fighting for a more democratic and just world. As my dad said in Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir, “Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you, but is not defined by your existence alone.” On behalf of all of us at the McCain Institute, thank you for your consideration. Your donation is vital to turning ideas into action and action into impact.”
