Mission Statement

A United DC Research Council is a social welfare organization organized and operated exclusively as a public awareness and education organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code to promote the common good and general welfare of the residents of the District of Columbia. The Council’s mission is to educate Washingtonians about both traditional and emerging governing philosophies and to conduct rigorous, independent research and analysis on the public policies that flow from those philosophies. Specifically, the Council examines whether such policies are designed and implemented to be practical, affordable, and effective in delivering measurable benefits to the community, or whether they are instead driven primarily by ideological considerations without sufficient regard for fiscal sustainability, operational feasibility, or long-term consequences for District residents.
