Atlas' vision is "to achieve a society of free and responsible individuals, based upon private property rights, limited government under the rule of law and the market order " (www.atlasusa.org).
Atlas promotes international development of free market think tanks and provides support and networking opportunities for existing organizations. Atlas brings "freedom to the world" through workshops, publications, awards, and a global directory of conservative/free market think tanks. Atlas is a member of both the Cooler Heads Coalition and the State Policy Network. Atlas is funded by conservative foundations, including the Sarah Scaife Foundation, Earhart Foundation and the Carthage Foundation (www.mediatransparency.org).
