The Shenango
Institute is a non-partisan, non-profit public policy research institute.
None of our resources are used for political campaigns or are given to
candidates or political parties. We will neither endorse nor oppose
candidates for public office or propose legislation at any level. Our
primary mission is to research and write about issues facing local governments
primarily in Butler, Lawrence, Mercer and Venango counties.
Our objective is to focus on
education, the delivery of governmental services, and tax policy.
The Shenango Institute is registered as a non-profit
corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and have been granted 501(c)3 status by the Internal Revenue Service, which makes us a
tax-exempt, tax-deductible organization.
