Thanks to our supporters, 2011 has been a banner year of incredible growth for Public Religion Research Institute.  We’ve conducted 18 major national surveys and interviewed over 25,000 Americans on topics as diverse as increasing inequality, immigration reform, abortion, gay and lesbian issues, and the 2012 presidential race.  We’re loving our new website (and we hope you are too!) and our fan base has grown to nearly 9,000 on Facebook.

We are also looking forward to 2012. With the Iowa caucus kicking off the primary season in the first few days of the year, we’re gearing up to bring you the timeliest and most nuanced research on the intersection of religion and politics in this election cycle – but we need your help.

As a unique nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, we rely on supporters like you to make our research possible. We have many exciting projects lined up for next year – including a comprehensive guide to the Tea Party, which we’ll release just in time for the January primaries.

If you’ve enjoyed the insights from PRRI this year, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to PRRI. Your generosity will help us continue to bring you even more up-to-the-minute insights on politics, religion, and American values in 2012.
