SUPPORT FDD

Dear Friend,

It’s worse than that: We are still arguing over what to call them. Are they militant Islamists, Islamo-fascists, Jihadists, terrorists, extremists, or something else entirely?

In the 20th century, America and its allies defeated Nazism and Communism, two movements that also were determined to crush freedom. But as the eminent historian Bernard Lewis has observed: “In 1940, we knew who we were, we knew who the enemy was, we knew the dangers and the issues . . . we knew we would prevail. . . .

Trustee Benefits

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) welcomes supporters making contributions of $10,000 or greater to its Board of Trustees. As a Trustee you will enjoy a number of benefits including:

Speaking Engagements and Conference Calls

Every day brings news that makes headlines and leads the nightly newscasts, yet traditional news sources only skim the surface. Get the full story and understand its implications for you and our nation's security. As a policy institute with broad expertise on the issues that concern you most, FDD will provide you with your own veritable brain trust of experts in foreign affairs, public policy, democracy-building, and counterterrorism.

Invitations to FDD's "Leading Thinkers" Conference

As a trustee you will also receive an invitation for you and a guest to attend FDD's 2008 "Leading Thinkers" Conference at a beautiful resort in the Bahamas.

You will meet leading experts from the United States, Europe, Israel, and the Middle East at our informal two-day workshop to discuss and select issues pertinent to the war against terrorism and the fight for democracy.

DONATE

Donate to Make a Difference

An investment in the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is an investment in the future of free nations. The returns on those tax-free investments are both tangible and intangible.

Many of our donors decide to make a difference in the battle to defend democracies against radical Islam by working with us as venture philanthropists. You can specify that your donation—and the support of others who share your concern—benefits an existing FDD project or a new initiative.

With the assistance of our investors, we have incubated a number of projects and organizations that achieve real measurable results: the Coalition Against Terrorist Media, the Committee on the Present Danger, the Future of Terrorism Project, the Center for Law and Counterterrorism, the FDD Campus Fellowships, the Investigative Reporting Project, the Center for Terrorism Research and Policy, and others.

We have incubated over a dozen other organizations and projects that we’d be delighted to discuss with you in person. These organizations and projects were inspired by and established through the ingenuity and support of our donors. We welcome your ideas for new organizations and projects that need to be developed to better fight the war of ideas.

FDD’s latest project on energy security is the focus of the 2008 annual Leading Thinkers workshop featuring policyl eaders, industry experts, journalists, and FDD supporters. If we are to win the war against militant Islamism, we must ...more
