The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) was founded in 2001 by a group of migration experts and researchers who saw the need for an independent, nonpartisan think tank focused on immigration and integration policies. The idea came from the founders' belief that well-thought-out, pragmatic immigration and integration policies are critical for building a secure and prosperous future in countries around the world. Today, MPI continues to operate as an independent nonprofit organization, with its headquarters in Washington, DC, and a sister organization, MPI Europe, in Brussels.Based in the United States, MPI covers a wide range of topics related to migration, including immigration policy and law, refugee and asylum policy, border security, immigrant integration, education, employment and the economy, and international governance. While they don't focus on traditional sports or entertainment news, they do explore these subjects when they intersect with migration issues. MPI delivers its content through research reports, policy briefs, fact sheets, and its online journal, the Migration Information Source.**One interesting fact**: Despite being a relatively small think tank, MPI has a significant global impact. It maintains a Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid/Guidestar and is designated a Four-Star Charity by Charity Navigator, showcasing its commitment to excellence and transparency in its work on migration issues.
