The John William Pope Foundation is a philanthropic organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Through grantmaking, it supports public policy groups, educational institutions, humanitarian efforts, and the arts, with the aim of improving citizen well-being by advancing individual freedom and personal responsibility. The foundation operates with a small staff and concentrates resources on strategic grants rather than running programs. Since its first grant in 1986, the foundation has distributed more than $100 million, primarily to charities and organizations in North Carolina. Its mission centers on enabling Americans to provide for themselves and their families through voluntary associations across family, church, school, community, business, and civic life, reflecting a belief in the benefits of a free-enterprise system. A recent development includes its support of the Adam Smith Program in May 2022.
