Support New America
Your tax-deductible gift will help bring promising new voices and ideas into our nation's discourse, and help shape the future of vital public policies.
A New Generation of Public-Minded Thinkers
One of the underlying causes of our nation’s impoverished public discourse is the lack of career opportunities and support structures to help young, public-minded writers and thinkers establish themselves as credible voices in the national debate. New America’s Bernard L. Schwartz Fellows Program addresses this problem by identifying and supporting a new generation of highly promising policy entrepreneurs.
Each year, New America awards up to 35 Fellowships to individuals who have powerful ideas for moving public thinking into new terrain. The Program supports both Senior Fellows, who have already distinguished themselves as leading policy thinkers, and younger Fellows, who have exceptional potential, but are not yet well established. All come to New America to pursue solutions-oriented research and writing projects of their own design.
Our fellows' most recent events and publications are featured below, and all can be found in the site's searchable archives.
