Washington Monthly

The nonprofit Washington Monthly magazine, founded in 1969, publishes independent public policy journalism. Known for taking on both liberal and conservative ideologues, the Washington Monthly scrutinizes in depth how Congress, the federal government, and the American political system work, or don’t, and offers over-the-horizon, evidence-based solutions to help make them work better. A three-year general operating support grant will strengthen the magazine’s ability to achieve its overall mission by allowing it to produce more investigative reports on Congress, publish more distinguished writers and thinkers—including other Madison Initiative grantees—and invest in business-side activities that can increase revenues.
