What Liberty International does

Liberty International, legally International Society for Individual Liberty, Inc., is a US-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 54-1512492) founded October 2, 1969 and headquartered at 539 W Commerce St #6427, Dallas, Texas. Operating under a "We Inspire, We Equip, We Empower" framework, it functions as the world's longest-running global freedom advocacy network, uniting individual liberty, free-market, and limited-government advocates across 80+ countries on five continents, with 39 annual World Conferences held since 1982 and program graduates numbering 3,000+ worldwide.

The organization delivers a portfolio of educational, research, and event-based products organized across three pillars. The Inspire pillar includes the World Conferences, The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible (a satirical free-market book and animated series translated into 57 languages, described as the most-translated libertarian text in history), the I, Smartphone essay and animated video, the Solution to Poverty documentary series, and the Milton & Murray comic series. The Equip pillar includes the Digital Nomad Tax Freedom Index (ranking 110 jurisdictions for digital-nomad friendliness), the International Work Migration Index, the peer-reviewed Liberty International Journal, the historical Pamphlet Series, and the Blood of Tyrants weekly research publication. The Empower pillar includes Project Arizona (a six-month leadership fellowship), Liberty Camps (residential programs in 30 countries run with Language of Liberty Institute), Libertarian Solutions (a multi-level online course library), Socratic Reading Circles, and standalone self-paced courses on health freedom, financial freedom, emotional freedom, and open borders.

Revenue is generated from three streams: contributions and grants (50.1% of 2025 revenue, $294,837), investments and other revenue (37.6%, $221,172), and program service revenue from conference fees, course enrollments, and program participation (12.2%, $71,967) — totaling $587,976 in preliminary 2025 revenue against $566,322 in expenses, with 76.6% of every dollar directed to programs. Distribution combines digital channels (Udemy, YouTube, website, email) with in-person programming through annual World Conferences, regional events, and a global network of country representatives, supported by partnerships with Atlas Network, Free to Choose Network, Libbre (UDD Chile), Samriddhi Foundation, Mercer University, and others.
