Your Support is Vital to Our Mission
The Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies is a global center located at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences dedicated to supporting world-class scholarship that furthers the Catholic intellectual tradition and advances human flourishing.
Whether on issues of medical ethics and the human person, nuclear war and peacemaking, democracy and authoritarianism, Catholic public leadership, Christianity and race, or women’s role in the Church and society, IACS sponsors leading-edge thinking, writing and dialogue.
As our society continues to be deeply divided by religious and cultural differences, IACS provides the opportunity to build bridges of dialogue, understanding and respect across the U.S. and around the globe.
As a nonprofit organization, IACS relies on the generosity of its supporters to fund research, programs, conferences and projects.
All donations are deeply appreciated. Committing to a monthly or annual donation allows us to plan ahead. Thank you for your generosity.
Please note that a tax receipt for your donation will come directly from USC and should arrive within 2-3 weeks.

It wouldn’t be entirely hyperbolic to say that the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC saved my career from utter ruin.
With IACS and especially the Generations in Dialogue Program coming into my life at the moment I needed but couldn’t have known about, I was ready to respond to a moment in history I had been preparing for more than twenty years.
The Institute is a wonderful venture. I love the way it welcomes honest dialogue among people of all faiths and the unusual way it works to deepen and strengthen the Catholic tradition. I believe that the goals of the Institute, though ambitious, are absolutely attainable. That is why I support it.
