• 
  The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy seeks to improve the quality of public debate and decisions in the areas of land policy and land-related taxation through courses and its magazine Land Lines.

• 
  The National Housing Trust preserves and revitalizes affordable apartments to better the quality of life for the families and elderly who live there. Saving affordable housing is the essential first step in solving our nation’s housing dilemma. The Trust also maintains the website of the former Institute for Community Economics (ICE), a national community development organization promoting economic justice through community land trusts and community investment. It is currently in the process of merging with another organization.
