The Steamboat Institute is a conservative 501(c)(3) nonprofit[1] educational institution[2] located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was founded in 2008 by Rick and Jennifer Schubert-Akin.[3] The organization's stated mission is to "promote America's first principles and inspire active involvement in the defense of liberty."[4] Among its stated principles are individual rights and responsibilities, limited taxation and fiscal responsibility, free market capitalism, limited government, and a strong national defense.[5] The Steamboat Institute sponsors an annual conference. Speakers have included former United States Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke.[6][7][8] The organization also awards an annual journalism fellowship named in honor of Tony Blankley.[9]
According to DeSmog, the organization "has regularly provided a platform for climate change deniers and fossil fuel proponents to spread their messages."[5]
