| Dear Friend of the Wilson Center: 2024 was an unprecedented year in so many ways… it was the "Year of Elections" with half of the world's democracies going to the polls. There were, very tragically, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and record levels of human displacement touching nearly every corner of the globe. Thanks to the support of friends like you, our unrivaled team of experts was able to rise to the challenge with our unique blend of independent research and scholarship-driven analysis. More people are turning to the Wilson Center than ever before. From the many events we've hosted to our written reports, from the briefings we've provided to both congress and the administration to our online and video products, we've helped to shape how policymakers think of world events—and that simply wouldn't have been possible without the generous contributions that you've made to our work. But we know that 2025 will bring a new set of challenges—and opportunities—and we hope you'll help us rise to the moment once again by making a contribution in support of our work. The Wilson Center occupies a unique place in US foreign policy—we are congressionally chartered, scholarship driven, and fiercely nonpartisan. We have a network of experts—from our program teams to more than 4,000 fellows, scholars, and alumni—that is unmatched. Each and every day, they're working to understand our ever-changing world and to deliver trusted, actionable analysis to our many audiences. All of this is only possible because of your generosity and support. 2024 has been a consequential year, and 2025 will likely be just as important. As a new administration and congress enter office, we will go to work in providing expert analysis on the issues they're facing and on the opportunities they can seize. Yes, there are many uncertainties and complexities in world events these days—but the Wilson Center stands ready to help make better sense of it all. We want to continue to be the trusted source policymakers and analysts turn to. On behalf of everyone at the Wilson Center, thank you for your consideration. We appreciate you, our community, more than ever. Warm Regards, |
