Edmund Burke
The Edmund Burke Institute, commonly known as the EBI, is an educational charity dedicated to highlighting the benefits of market led policies and to promoting the civic and cultural values that allow those markets to function.
The EBI is independent, non-partisan, and funded entirely through the private donations of individuals and organisations. The EBI does not receive, nor would we accept, any funding from organisations tied to either the Irish government or the EU
