Why the McCain Institute?

Our world is facing challenges such as we have never seen. They all point to the importance of character-driven leadership and the universal values of freedom and human dignity. It’s the type of leader who serves a cause greater than self-interest and who is willing to get in the arena and fight, even at the risk of failure, rather than standing on the sidelines. Senator John McCain believed in that kind of leadership, and he lived it every single day. That spirit drives our work at the McCain Institute for International Leadership. Through our membership programs, we invite you to engage with the McCain Institute’s work, interact with our experts and fellows, participate in high-level invitation-only events, receive regular updates through our publications, newsletters, to name a few. We would be honored for you to join us.

Your Impact

Inspired by Senator John McCain and the McCain family’s legacy of public service, the McCain Institute champions character-driven leadership based on security, economic opportunity, freedom and human dignity around the world. Donations to the Institute support our work in the areas of leadership development, human rights and democracy, rule of law, national security, counterterrorism and combatting human trafficking, thus helping us find positive solutions to global problems. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Institute is proudly part of Arizona State University.
