About Us

The Middle East Policy Council, established in 1981, is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to fostering informed dialogue and understanding. Our nonpartisan stance ensures credibility and reliability in our educational endeavors focused on the Middle East region.

Mission and Goals

Our mission is to provide policymakers and the public with credible, comprehensive information and analysis on political, economic, and cultural issues pertaining to U.S.-Middle East. Our goal is to foster more effective policy solutions to current and future challenges. We accomplish this through three core programs: 1. our world-renowned, quarterly journal Middle East Policy (the #1 most cited publication on the region in the world); 2. our Policy Products and Programming Series designed for senior policymakers and their staffs, and 3. our acclaimed international educational outreach program, TeachMidEast, designed for students, educators and other civic leaders.

We extend an invitation for support from individuals, corporations, and organizations aligned with our mission. Secure online donations can be made here.  For inquiries regarding public and private sponsorship opportunities, kindly reach out to Bassima Alghussein, MEPC's Executive Director, at balghussein@mepc.org.
