Help Us Continue Adam Smith's Legacy

Will you make the 300 pledge?

We’re celebrating the 300th birthday of Adam Smith this year. The ASI is proud to be named in his honour, and to continue his legacy.

To reverse Britain’s decline, we need his ideas more than ever.

We need to re-make the fundamental case for markets and liberty, cut through the red-tape, and challenge the defeatism that is holding Britain back.

And we must champion our entrepreneurs, wealth creators and business owners, whose grit and hard work is the bedrock of our economy.

Over the years, we have paved the way for sound ideas to enter public discourse and be implemented as policy, through our research. And we’ve been empowering young people to challenge the status quo through our educational outreach.

We have big ambitions for 2023 and beyond with a fresh team, but we need your support.

That’s why we’re launching the 300 Pledge.

Thanks to the generosity of one supporter, for the first £300,000 we raise, they will match every pound you put in. So there has never been a better time to support our work.

Make the Pledge:

You’ll enable a step-change in our efforts and support entire new campaigns to be fought in the battle of ideas.

You’ll help us to hire a part-time economics researcher or fund influential policy research.

You'll help us to take on 3 new interns, organise 3 school engagements, or host 3 The Next Generation events.

Please help us in any way you can - there has never been a more important time to support our cause.

Our kindest regards,

James Lawson

Chairman, Adam Smith Institute
