Impacting Culture
Culture is the seedbed for strong families, safe and healthy communities, and the opportunity to succeed and serve others. We believe a flourishing, prosperous culture requires limited government, focused on its chief role to restrain evil and promote the good. This is best described as “ordered liberty,” reflected in Pennsylvania’s motto, “Virtue, Liberty and Independence.” Virtue comes first because true liberty is anchored in a transcendent moral order. We work to spur citizens, churches, schools, and other institutions to promote virtue and a moral order in public policy and in the culture at large, to advance the flourishing of every Pennsylvanian.
