The John Locke Foundation is an independent nonprofit think tank established in 1990 and located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It conducts research, journalism, and outreach to influence government policy toward greater personal freedom and accountability, anchored by competition and private initiative. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) and relies exclusively on voluntary contributions from individuals, corporations, and charitable foundations. Its vision centers on a North Carolina of responsible citizens, strong families, and thriving communities guided by individual liberty and limited constitutional government. It seeks to balance the roles of the public sector and private institutions such as family, faith, community, and enterprise. In 2025, the foundation announced a collaboration with the Goldwater Institute to file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court regarding issues related to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and unilateral tariffs.
