What We Do

The Business Institute of Washington (501 c-3) seeks to educate the general public on the relationship between business and public policy in Washington state. The Business Institute, through various programs, is able to deliver transparent, nonpartisan information to the public that sheds light on the state's political process in relation to its private-sector health. What's great for business is great for Washington state, as a healthy private sector benefits all Washingtonians.

Business Institute of Washington program areas:

  • Campaign Fundraising Analysis: Campaign fundraising analysis is conducted year round and tracks political dollars of candidates, both incumbents and challengers as well as special interest groups. The resulting data helps Washingtonians better understand who is giving to which candidates, and demonstrates how the flow of money shapes our state's political landscape.
  • The Business Institute of Washington's Internship Program: As we seek to educate the general public on the relationship between business and public policy in Washington state, it is important that our youth be included in the process. Our internship program not only gives our interns hands-on access to our work as educational advocates, but also gives our organization exposure to the youth population, adding insight on how to communicate our educational messages to youth in communities all around the state.

  • Media and Community Outreach & Public Affairs: By working with local chambers of commerce, local media outlets, and other community organizations, the Business Institute delivers important policy and research directly into the hands of Washingtonians who will benefit the most.
