Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Four Freedoms Center
The Four Freedoms Center is a think tank that seeks to foster a rigorous debate about progressive policies and values and to deploy their strongest proponents in the public sphere. Its Fellows Program includes influential thinkers and analysts such as Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and Robert Johnson, former chief economist to the Senate Banking Committee, and its work has informed the consumer protection efforts of Elizabeth Warren. The New Deal 2.0 blog gives these fellows and other contributors a platform to develop their ideas and share their insights on the economic crisis, financial reform, and other issues.
Campus Network
The Roosevelt Institute
Campus Network is a forum of 10,000 politically engaged young people at 86
active chapters who discuss, promote, and implement progressive ideas and
policies. The Network comprises a diverse cross-section of backgrounds, with
women and people of color leading more than half the chapters. The Roosevelt
Alumni Young Professionals Network, launched in 2010, brings together early-career
progressives in order to support and encourage future progressive leaders.
FDR Library & Museum
In partnership with the government-run Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, the nation's first presidential library, the Institute seeks to promote the legacy of the Roosevelts and
attract new audiences to their ideas and values, supporting programs and exhibitions and producing white papers and
blog content that provide a historical context to contemporary challenges.
Awards
The Roosevelt Institute sponsors a number of
awards, including the Four Freedoms Awards, which recognize individual
achievement in promoting freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of
religion, freedom of speech, and the universal concept of freedom; the Franklin
D. Roosevelt International Disability Award, which encourages progress by
nations toward the fulfillment of the goal of the United Nations World Program
of Action Concerning Disabled Persons; the Arthur M. Schlesinger. Jr. Award,
which honors individuals who have made significant contributions in the fields
of American history, public policy and participation in public affairs; and the
Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt Naval History Prize, which honors
outstanding works on American naval history.
