The Hudson Institute's Center for Global Prosperity provides a platform—through conferences,
discussions, publications, and media appearances—to create awareness among U.S.
and international opinion leaders, as well as the general public, about the
central role of the private sector, both for-profit and not-for-profit, in the
creation of economic growth and prosperity in any country.
The Center’s
core product is the new annual
Index of Global Philanthropy, which
details the sources—and magnitude—of U.S. private international giving, and
which demonstrates that the most effective philanthropic bridge between
industrialized countries and developing nations is built on private
philanthropy, volunteerism, and public-private partnerships, not exclusively
government foreign aid.
The Center supports free societies, including
capital markets, rule of law, government transparency, free trade and press,
human rights, and private property—prerequisites for economic health and
well-being.
