Founded in 1946, the Foundation for Economic Education is America's oldest "free enterprise"​ research and educational institute, headquartered first in Irvington, New York and now Atlanta, Georgia. Its missions is to inspire, educate, and connect future leaders with the economic, ethical, and legal principles of a free society. It focuses primarily on reaching people through seminars, publications, daily content, social media, and online lectures. A core component of the Foundation's message is the critical, indispensable connection between character, liberty, and a free economy. FEE is sustained entirely by the voluntary, tax deductible contributions of other foundations, individuals, and businesses who believe that character, liberty, and a free economy are worth supporting.
