Support the Wilson Center

Wilson Council

The Wilson Council engages individuals who appreciate the Wilson Center's non-partisan focus on understanding the most pressing policy issues facing the world today. Through the Council's activities, members become engaged in the life of the institution, connecting with leaders from the worlds of policy, academia, and business, while learning the historical, cultural, political, and economic perspectives that influence decision-making at all levels.

Through their participation, counsel and annual contributions, Council members enable the Center to further the dialogue of democracy. In appreciation of their support, the Center provides a wide array of benefits. As a private/public partnership, the Center must raise two-thirds of its budget every year, making the generosity of the Wilson Council members critical to the Center's continued success.  For further information, please contact the Development Office at (202) 691-4172.
