President’s Circle

The President’s Circle is an influential group of individuals deeply committed to advancing biblical, historical Christianity, religious freedom, democracy at home and aboard, and the church’s voice in American public life through their special partnership with the Institute on Religion & Democracy.

Members of The President’s Circle support the Institute on Religion & Democracy with an annual contribution of $1,000 or more—gifts as low as $84 a month—and receive special recognition and a range of exclusive benefits.
