Free Speech Grants from FIRE
Research & Learn
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression not only defends free speech in courtrooms. We also seek to educate the public about free speech in our history, culture, and society. To help fulfill that aspect of our mission, we periodically offer grants to support free speech research projects.
