About Anthem Foundation for Objectivist Scholarship
A defining pattern in the Anthem Foundation for Objectivist Scholarship’s recent giving is its repeated support for the University of Texas to build and sustain Objectivism-related academic work. The largest recent grants, each at $120,000, went to the university for the establishment of a department for Objectivism, appearing in multiple years and showing a sustained institutional commitment rather than a one-off award. The foundation’s stated purpose is to support teaching, study, and scholarship based on Objectivism, and its recent grants align closely with that mission through department-building, fellowships, and academic support. Another grant to the University of Texas provided $50,000 for fellowship support tied to teaching, research, and academic activities related to Objectivism. A further grant to Seton Hall University supported the study of Objectivism. The pattern points to a funder focused on higher education settings, academic research, and the development of teaching capacity around Objectivist philosophy.
What Anthem Foundation for Objectivist Scholarship Funds
In higher education, the foundation gave $120,000 to the University of Texas for the establishment of a department for Objectivism, showing direct support for academic program development. It also awarded $50,000 to the same university for fellowship support tied to teaching, research, and academic activities related to Objectivism. A separate grant of $20,833 went to Seton Hall University to promote the study of Objectivism, linking the foundation to university-based scholarship beyond one campus. Its active programs also include support for visiting scholars, workshops and conferences, public talks and lecture series, sabbaticals, graduate student tuition, research and writing projects, and classroom or library book sets. The grant list and program descriptions together show a focus on philosophy curriculum development, faculty research, and scholarly activities.
How Anthem Foundation for Objectivist Scholarship Gives
Typical awards in the recent data cluster at a median of $120,000, with a p25 of $67,500 and a p75 of $120,000. The same recipient can appear in multiple years: the University of Texas received repeated grants from 2023 through 2025, including several $120,000 awards. The foundation appears to use both general gifts and a request form for some support, while one fellowship-and-multiyear-gifts program does not accept unsolicited requests. It is a grantmaking foundation rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
