Research That Matters – Can You Support The Australia Institute?
The Australia Institute (TAI) is an independent Think Tank. It aims to push public debate beyond the simplistic question of whether markets or governments have all the answers to more important questions:
- When does government need to intervene in the market?
- When should it stand back?
- When regulation is needed, what form should it take?
TAI is funded by memberships, donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals, and commissioned research.
A Generous $20,000 Donation – To be Matched!
A fortnight ago a donor pledged $20,000 to TAI if they could match it.
They have managed to raise nearly $16,000 and now have 6 days to raise $4,000 to turn $20,000 into $40,000.
