For more than 35 years, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has been fighting government-created barriers to freedom, innovation, and prosperity.

​As an investor in CEI, your generous support will ensure that CEI continues to protect the rule of law and challenge overregulation. Here are just a few recent victories made possible by our supporters:

CEI is putting a dent in the $2 trillion that government agencies take each year from consumers, businesses, and the economy. CEI’s persistent work on regulatory reform shines a bright light on agency “dark matter” – the guidance documents, letters and memos that federal agencies use to avoid congressional oversight. Our annual report, Ten Thousand Commandments, outlines these abuses and is a staple in Capitol Hill offices.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute advocates abolishing antitrust laws. Antitrust restricts the rights of individuals to determine with whom and under what circumstances they wish to deal. CEI is fighting to make sure industries in U.S. remain a vibrant source of innovation, without barriers to entry or burdensome regulations. A strong 21st Century economy depends on it.

CEI helped defeat the Paris Climate Agreement, protecting affordable energy for those who need it the most. With more than 20 years of experience working on energy and environmental policy issues, we put together a communications strategy that changed the direction of U.S. policy.

Join CEI as we make the uncompromising case for economic and individual freedom. Together, we can put an end to government interference in our businesses, communities, and personal lives.
