Research Recharge (Think Tank)
A think tank is (also called a policy institute) is an organization, institute, corporation, or group that conducts research and engages in advocacy in areas such as social policy, political strategy, economy, science or technology issues, industrial or business policies, or military advice. Think tanks represent a variety of ideological perspectives. Some think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation, are clearly aligned with conservative causes. Others, especially those focused on social and environmental reforms, such as the Tellus Institute, are viewed as clearly liberal. Still others, such as the Cato Institute, promote libertarian social and economic reforms.
Research/Recharge is a think tank of Knowledge of the Proactive Enterprise (K.O.P.E.) that conducts research on political, economic and social trends of communities in order to determine a need for intervention on the part of civic institutions based in a particular community. Research/Recharge also functions as the information quorum for average citizens to learn up-to-date, accurate information on their particular state, county or city. The mission of the think tank is to equip our constituents with the knowledge necessary to cause significant change at the grassroots level in your community.
K.O.P.E. would like to invite you to complete our “PeaceSpeak” community survey. This survey has been developed to form a firm, unbiased consensus of the issues that are most important to residents. K.O.P.E. will compile these results to form community initiatives that better suite your needs and reflect your values. These results will be used in our Peacemaking Agenda Report. Please click here to complete the survey.
Thank you,
K.O.P.E., Inc.
