Priority is given to initiatives connecting foundational principles such as freedom of speech, due process, trial by jury, limited government, rule of law, property rights, taxation by consent, and ordered liberty to contemporary civic life. Successful projects may include symposia, traveling exhibitions, speaker exchanges, and digital outreach to foster a sustained national conversation in the UK reinforcing transatlantic partnership and shared values.
