An important new source of funding to help spread Objectivism was announced last year in July. Through the Objectivist Venture Fund (OVF), Carl Barney, ARI board member, has committed up to one million dollars to support Objectivists with imagination and persistence who want to put these funds to good use in advancing Ayn Rand’s philosophy. To date, OVF has received more than forty proposals from around the world and has awarded over $500,000 to projects with well-defined plans and clear objectives.
Are you interested in taking your study of Objectivism to the next level and meeting students who are as serious about Ayn Rand’s philosophy as you are? Then you won’t want to miss Objectivist Summer Conference (OCON) 2015 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The month of March proved to be an eventful one at ARI in the area of educator outreach. With the goal of increasing awareness of ARI’s Free Books to Teachers and Essay Contest programs, representatives from the Institute attended two national conferences aimed at high school teachers, administrators and school board members.
With the March 29 deadline approaching, apply today for ARI’s summer internship program to become one of the twenty to thirty college students or recent graduates who come to intern each June at the Ayn Rand Institute in sunny Southern California.
