The Business Institute of Washington


The Business Institute of Washington works year-round to bring transparency to public policy and politics in Washington state through nonpartisan research and analysis. We seek to educate the general public on the relationship between business and public policy, and are able to do that through a variety of programs. Delivering transparent, nonpartisan information to the public that sheds light on the state's political process in relation to its private-sector health is a vital part of what we do.

Business Institute of Washington program areas:

  • Campaign Fundraising Analysis: Campaign fundraising analysis is conducted year-round, and tracks political dollars of candidates, both incumbents and challengers, as well as special interest groups. The data helps Washingtonians better understand where candidates receive their funds from, and demonstrates how the flow of money shapes our state's political landscape. Please click here to be directed to the Campaign Fundraising Analysis page.
  • The Business Institute of Washington's Internship Program: As we seek to educate the general public on the relationship between business and public policy in Washington state, it is important that our youth be included in the process. Our internship program not only gives our interns hands-on access to our work as educational advocates, but also gives our organization exposure to the youth population, adding insight on how to communicate our educational messages to youth in communities all around the state.

  • Media and Community Outreach & Public Affairs: By working with local chambers of commerce, local media outlets and other community organizations, the Business Institute delivers important policy and research directly into the hands of Washingtonians who will benefit the most.
