Brook Farm Institute for Critical Studies is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We rely on a combination of tuition and donations to exist. Your support helps preserve our independence, which is a precondition for free inquiry.

We keep our tuition deliberately low. We reserve sliding scale seats in every seminar. We compensate faculty fairly. None of this is possible without the generosity of people like you who believe that public intellectual culture is worth sustaining.

Your gift supports our work directly: it helps us keep seminars accessible, bring new voices into the classroom, offer special events, and build a community of thinkers united in a shared commitment to intellectual pursuits.
