Overview
The Bradley Foundation recognizes that the principles and institutions that characterize American exceptionalism were hard won and can be easily lost. The Foundation is therefore dedicated to a vigorous defense of these foundations of a free society. Lynde and Harry Bradley believed not just in freedom, but also in the richness of community and culture that are the basis of a well-lived life. The Bradley Foundation seeks to further those beliefs by supporting the study, defense, and practice of the individual initiative and ordered liberty that lead to prosperity, strong families, and vibrant communities.

- Commitment to free markets that allow for private enterprise, entrepreneurship, and voluntary exchange within the rule of law.
- Commitment to the fundamental institutions of civil society that cultivate individuals capable of self-governance.
- Dedication to the formation of informed and capable citizens.
