The Institute for Anarchist Studies is funded by donations from individual anarchists, anti-authoritarians, libertarian leftists, and other like-minded radicals as well as collectives, publishers, and projects interested in furthering anarchist scholarship--like you! The IAS also raises funds through its Mutual Aid Speakers List and donations at the RAT conference or other events. In this way, the institute is both independent and yet deeply interconnected with, and supported by, anarchist and like-minded milieux and movements. The IAS, in short, is about the anti-authoritarian Left sustaining its own public intellectuals and critical intellectual spaces.
