The Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRI) is a California-based free-market think tank which promotes "the principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility" through policies that emphasize a free economy, private initiative, and limited government.[1] PRI was founded in 1979 by British philanthropist Antony Fisher and San Francisco businessman James North.[2][3] The organization is headquartered in Pasadena, California, with an additional office in Sacramento.[4]
Policy areas
The organization is active in the policy areas of education, economics, health care, the environment, and water supply.[5][6] It operates the Center for California's Future, which has a goal of "reinvigorating California's entrepreneurial, self-reliant traditions" and the Laffer Center, which is "focused on educating people on free-markets and supply-side economics."[7]
From 1996 through 2009, the organization published an annual Index of Leading Environmental Indicators, which tracked environmental trends worldwide. PRI started the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, a New York-based think tank focusing on health policy.[8]
In 2022, Pipes opposed federal efforts to cap copayments at $35 for insulin, and PRI opposed plans by California to back generic manufacturing of the drug.[9]
PRI is a member of the advisory board of Project 2025,[10] a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican nominee win the 2024 presidential election.[11]
Staff
Sally C. Pipes has been president of the institute since 1991.[12][13] She writes a regular column for Forbes.com, focusing on health care in the United States.[14] In 2008 she founded the Benjamin Rush Institute as a conservative association for medical students with 20 chapters at medical schools across America.[13] She is originally from Canada and became a U.S. citizen in 2006.[13] She opposes single-payer health care systems.[9]
The current chairman of the board of trustees Clark S. Judge (since 2005) is also a cofounder of the White House Writers Group.[15]
Finances
PRI's total revenues in 2020 were $5.6 million, according to ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer database. [16] The Lilly Endowment, connected to Eli Lilly and Company, is a donor, contributing $175,000 a year in grants to PRI since 2015, according to The Intercept.[9]
