The James Madison Institute is a Florida-based think tank established in 1987 that operates as a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and educational organization. It focuses on policy analysis and recommendations rooted in constitutional principles such as limited government, economic freedom, federalism, and individual liberty, with an emphasis on free-market approaches to policymaking. The institute houses several policy centers and engages with a broad audience across Florida and beyond, including national exposure through major media outlets, while explicitly not accepting government funds or private contributions that could influence its research outcomes. Based in Tallahassee, the organization serves individuals, foundations, and corporations across the state and nation, positioning itself as an independent broker on public policy issues affecting Florida residents. A recent leadership update includes internal appointments and personnel changes, reflecting ongoing organizational development within its public policy and strategic initiatives.
