A Special Message from the Hall Institute

Thank you for your support in the past for the work of the Hall Institute. In six years, the institute has become -- for policymakers and for the media -- an important source of fair and honest examinations of the critical public policy issues confronting our state and nation.

• More than 400 documents, ranging from white papers to short opinion pieces, are posted on our website at www.hallnj.org.

• Since our inception, we have had a major presence in every statewide election by presenting online virtual debates that provide voters with substantive information on where the candidates stand on the major issues.

• We have partnered with colleges and universities and other public policy organizations to sponsor forums and conferences throughout the state.

• We have taken an aggressive and innovative approach to new media with Facebook, Twitter, and our own Hall Institute webcasts, podcasts, and blogs.

Your support will make it possible for us to continue and expand our efforts to provide New Jerseyans with information to help develop solutions to the problems facing our state. In the coming months, we will be conducting new research studies, sponsoring more conferences, and launching new programs to further our efforts to provide you with a broad range of opinion and ideas.

As you plan your philanthropic efforts, we ask that you consider supporting the Hall Institute as one of the important causes with which you wish to be identified with. Contributions can be mailed to:
