Nonprofit Research Organization
The Institute for American Manufacturing & Technology is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute produces nonpartisan research, policy analysis, and strategic frameworks that advance public understanding of the industrial foundations of the United States.
Mission
The Institute conducts applied research across three domains critical to national competitiveness: advanced manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and artificial intelligence governance. Its work addresses the structural conditions that determine whether the United States can build, power, and govern its own technological and industrial future.
What the 501(c)(3) Does
As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Institute’s activities are exclusively educational and charitable. The Institute does not lobby. It does not endorse candidates. It produces research that informs public understanding and contributes to evidence-based policymaking. All research is nonpartisan and made available to policymakers, researchers, and the public.
Three research institutes operate under this tax-exempt mission:
- Aegis Institute — Artificial intelligence, compute infrastructure, semiconductor policy, and technology governance
- Atlas Institute — Energy systems, grid reliability, nuclear and advanced generation, and infrastructure resilience
- Forge Institute — Manufacturing capacity, supply chains, workforce development, and defense industrial base
Research Output
The Institute produces white papers, policy briefs, strategic assessments, and data-driven analysis. This research forms the evidentiary foundation that policymakers, industry leaders, and advocacy organizations rely on to make informed decisions about American industrial policy.
Independence and Nonpartisanship
The Institute’s research is nonpartisan and independent. The Institute does not lobby and does not support or oppose candidates for public office. Its work is intended to inform public understanding and evidence-based decision-making. Views expressed in Institute publications are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute’s board, funders, or partners.
Tax-Deductible Contributions
Contributions to the Institute are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Institute’s tax-exempt status is effective retroactive to its date of incorporation, so all contributions received since founding qualify.
