The Center for Independent Thought (CIT) is an IRS 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit educational foundation.
CIT serves as the parent foundation for a number of educational activities:
Stossel In The Classroom, distributes popular TV journalist John Stossel's videos to high school classrooms around the country—challenging conventional wisdom about many of today's issues.
The Roy A. Childs, Jr. Fund for Independent Scholars issues grants to classical liberal scholars who are not associated with an educational institution or research organization, and who are producing publishable book-length manuscripts, to allow them to see their manuscripts through to publication. Applications for grants are not currently being accepted.
The Thomas Szasz Award, named for the great iconoclastic psychiatrist recently retired from the SUNY Upstate Medical Center, is given annually to an individual or organization judged to have contributed in an outstanding degree to the cause of civil liberties.
