Liberty Fund, Inc.
Liberty Fund, Inc. is a private, educational foundation established in 1960 to encourage the study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals.
The Foundation develops, supervises, and finances its own educational activities to foster thought and encourage discourse on enduring intellectual issues pertaining to liberty. This is done through the implementation of different programs:
- Each year, Liberty Fund conducts over 150 conferences throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Europe.
- Liberty Fund has a book publishing program. There is an online catalog where these books can be ordered <http://www.libertyfund.org/books.aspx>.
- Liberty Fund has produced a series of videos called The Intellectual Portrait Series which are conversations with some of the most significant contemporary thinkers about individual liberty.
- Liberty Fund hosts several websites which contain books, articles, discussion, and podcasts about liberty.
These programs focus on the place individual liberty has in an intellectual heritage evident from ancient times and continuing through our own times. The programs are intended to enrich understanding and appreciation of the complex nature of a society of free and responsible individuals and to contribute to its preservation.
Liberty Fund also sponsors the following websites:
- Liberty Fund’s main website <http://www.libertyfund.org>
- LF online catalog <http://www.libertyfund.org/books.aspx>
- The Online Library of Liberty <http://oll.libertyfund.org/>
- The Library of Economics and Liberty <http://www.econlib.org/>
- The Library of Law and Liberty <http://www.libertylawsite.org/>
As a tax-exempt, private operating foundation, Liberty Fund’s purposes are educational. It does not, therefore, engage in political action of any kind. It fulfills its mission by conducting programs, not by awarding grants to outside organizations or individuals.
The cuneiform inscription that appears in the logo and serves as a design element in all Liberty Fund books and websites is the earliest-known written appearance of the word “freedom” (amagi), or “liberty.” It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.
