Help Reach and Teach Millions About Liberty and the Second Amendment

Thank you for sharing your views on the Second Amendment with us.

There’s no question that the Second Amendment is under attack. Restrictive laws are being passed. Gun manufacturers face lawsuits. Retailers are limiting or discontinuing their sale of firearms under pressure from organized and well-funded anti-Second Amendment interests.

For the Second Amendment to remain an effective bulwark of our liberty, it requires—like the rest of the Constitution—a properly educated citizenry to defend it.

That’s why we are actively engaged on the battleground of education, reaching and teaching millions on behalf of liberty.

Since 1844, we have remained true to our original mission—to provide the kind of education needed to perpetuate “the inestimable blessings of civil and religious liberty.” 

Today, we provide the very best classical education in the land to nearly 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students. We also extend our mission on behalf of liberty nationwide through extensive educational outreach efforts. 

We are the best-positioned college in the nation to reach and teach millions of Americans about the Constitution and liberty. After all, America’s founding principles are responsible for our unparalleled freedom and prosperity. And we need your help.

Your generous gift today will help:

• Increase the number of citizens (especially younger Americans) enrolling in our free online courses such as “Constitution 101” and “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope.”
• Expand the circulation of Imprimis, our digest of liberty, to reach and teach millions more Americans with essays such as “The Second Amendment as an Expression of First Principles” by Edward J. Erler.
• Send millions of pocket-size copies of America’s founding documents to citizens and K-12 schools.
• Launch and support increasing numbers of Hillsdale-member classical K-12 schools nationwide.
• Partner with organizations like USA Shooting to promote shooting sports, train athletes to represent the United States in international shooting competitions, and expand educational outreach on the Second Amendment.  

Why Your Support is Essential

We accomplish all of our work while refusing to accept ONE PENNY of government support—not even indirectly in the form of federal or state student grants or loans. NOT. ONE. PENNY. 

This unique independence frees us from burdensome and corrupt federal regulations. But it also means that we are entirely dependent on the generosity of private citizens, like you, who understand the importance of education to liberty. 

So please give a generous, tax-deductible donation to Hillsdale today. 

Please help our efforts to reach and teach increasing millions of citizens (especially younger Americans) about our nation’s great heritage of liberty, which includes the Second Amendment.
