The Brookings Institution is an independent, nonpartisan organization devoted to research, analysis, and public education with an emphasis on economics, foreign policy, governance, and metropolitan policy. More than 140 resident and nonresident scholars research issues; write books, papers, articles, and opinion pieces; testify before congressional committees; and participate in dozens of public events each year. More than 200 research assistants and support staff contribute to the Institution's research, publishing, event management, media relations, fundraising, and information technology operations. Brookings is financed by gifts and grants, its endowment, revenue from executive education and publications, and other sources. Brookings traces its beginnings to 1916, and is named for Robert Somers Brookings, a businessman, civic leader, and philanthropist.
