5 Bradley Brothers' Legacy
n 1903, Lynde and Harry Bradley established a new business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It took courage and confidence for them to risk resources in a new venture, based only on their judgment of what was and their Ivision of what could be. The Bradleys’ confidence was bolstered by the knowledge that in America, not only were they free to start a business, they could also begin again if they failed. The Bradleys, however, would not fail. Their business grew to become the Allen-Bradley Company.
When the Allen-Bradley Company was acquired by Rockwell International Corporation in 1985, a significant portion of the proceeds was dedicated to establishing The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
Although it has no direct ties to the Allen-Bradley Company, the purpose of the Foundation is to commemorate Lynde and Harry Bradley by preserving and extending the principles and philosophy by which they lived and upon which they built the company.
As their efforts succeeded, their business grew and eventually extended far beyond its Milwaukee headquarters. Lynde and Harry Bradley remained devoted to the city where they began their enterprise and in which they lived and worked for so many years. Their foundation will continue the Bradleys’ interest in helping to improve the quality of life in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
The Bradleys lived and worked according to several philosophical principles. They believed that, over time, the consequences of ideas were more decisive than the force of political or economic movements. They recognized the interdependence of human endeavors – cultural, educational, philosophical, economic – and they rejected exclusionary emphasis on any single element. The brothers had an abiding belief in the dignity and decency of each person. They felt that only in an environment of political and economic freedom could individuals develop their talents, hone their skills and intellects, and contribute to the improvement of the human condition. The success of the Allen-Bradley Company stands as eloquent testimony to the enduring quality of these principles.
The Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is likewise devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles and values that sustain and nurture it. Its programs support limited, competent government; a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity; and a vigorous defense at home and abroad of American ideas and institutions. In addition, recognizing that responsible self-government depends on enlightened citizens and informed public opinion, the Foundation supports scholarly studies and academic achievement.
6 Curent Program Interests
he Foundation’s Board, on occasion, undertakes to define and redefine its current program interests. At present, the Foundation aims to encourage projects that focus on cultivating a renewed, healthier, and Tmore vigorous sense of citizenship among the American people, and among peoples of other nations, as well.
The free society so central to the convictions and success of the Bradley brothers rests upon and is intended to nurture a solid foundation of competent, self-governing citizens, who are understood to be fully capable of and personally responsible for making the major political, economic, and moral decisions that shape their own lives, and the lives of their children. Such decisions are made on the basis of common sense, received wisdom, traditional values, and everyday moral understandings, which are in turn nurtured and passed on to future generations by healthy families, churches, neighborhoods, voluntary associations, schools, and other value-generating “mediating structures.”
This expansive understanding of citizenship is being challenged today, however, by contemporary forces and ideas that regard individuals more as passive and helpless victims of powerful external forces than as personally responsible, self-governing citizens, and that foster a deep skepticism about citizenly values and mediating structures. Consequently, authority and accountability tend to flow away from citizens toward centralized, bureaucratic, “service- providing” institutions that claim to be peculiarly equipped to cope with those external forces on behalf of their “clients.” This systematic disenfranchisement of the citizen, and the consequent erosion of citizenly mediating structures, pose grave threats to the free society that the Bradley bothers cherished.
In light of these considerations, projects likely to be supported by the Foundation will generally share these assumptions:
HH They will treat free men and women as genuinely self-governing, personally responsible citizens, not as victims or clients.
HH They will aim to restore the intellectual and cultural legitimacy of citizenly common sense, the received wisdom of experience, everyday morality, and personal character, refurbishing their roles as reliable guideposts of everyday life.
HH They will seek to reinvigorate and reempower the traditional, local institutions – families, schools, churches, and neighborhoods – that provide training in and room for the exercise of genuine citizenship, that pass on everyday morality to the next generation, and that cultivate personal character.
HH They will encourage decentralization of power and accountability away from centralized, bureaucratic, national institutions back to the states, localities, and revitalized mediating structures where citizenship is more fully realized.
7 Curent Program Interests I n addition to these thematic considerations, eligible projects will exhibit these features: HH They may address any arena of public life – economics, politics, culture, or civil society – where citizenship as here understood is an important issue. It is important to note that our view of citizenship is not primarily concerned with promoting civics education, voter awareness or turn-out, or similar activities narrowly focused on voting and elections.
HH They may address the problem of citizenship at home or abroad, where the fall of many (and the perpetuation of some) totalitarian regimes has made this issue particularly urgent.
HH In light of our emphasis on decentralization, and considering the Foundation’s deep roots in Milwaukee and Wisconsin – areas with proud traditions of innovation and experimentation in democratic citizenship – community and state projects will be of particular interest to us. Such projects will aim to improve the life of the community through increasing cultural and educational opportunities, grass-roots economic development, and effective and humane social and health services, reflecting where possible the Foundation’s focus on the resuscitation of citizenship.
HH Projects may be actual demonstrations of the resuscitation of citizenship in the economic, political, cultural, or social realms; policy research and writing about approaches encouraging that resuscitation; academic research and writing that explore the intellectual roots of citizenship, its decline, and prospects for revival; and popular writing and media projects that illustrate for a broader public audience the themes of citizenship.
Much of the creative and energetic leadership essential for a renewal of citizenship will be supplied by gifted individuals, who must receive challenging and stimulating programs and instruction at all levels of their education. The Foundation supports programs that research the needs of gifted children and techniques of providing education for students with superior skills and/or intelligence. Research programs investigating how learning occurs in gifted children and demonstration programs of instruction are to be considered.
8 Grantmaking Policies
he programs and funding decisions of the Bradley Foundation are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. At the discretion of the Board, the policies set forth herein will be modified in response to Tchanging conditions and priorities.
The guidelines established by the Board of Directors will normally preclude funding for unspecified and undetailed overhead costs. No funds will be authorized for fees payable to fund-raising counsel. In addition, grants without significant import to the Foundation’s areas of interest will only under special conditions be considered for endowment or deficit-financing purposes.
The Foundation will:
HH Normally award grants only to organizations and institutions exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and publicly supported under Section 509(a)(1), (2) or (3);
HH Favor projects that are not normally financed by public tax funds;
HH Consider requests for building projects and limit grants to a fraction of the total cost.
Grantees must possess the resources to properly administer grants from the Foundation. The Foundation conducts an annual evaluation of grants, and grantees are asked to provide periodic reports on the progress of their work.
9 Application Procedure
wo steps are required in the application process. First, the applicant should prepare a brief letter of inquiry, describing the applicant’s organization and intended project. If the Foundation determines the Tproject to be within its current program interests, the applicant will be invited to submit a formal proposal.
The second step is the actual submission of the proposal. Applicants should submit a letter presenting a concise description of the project, its objectives and significance, and the qualifications of the organizations and individuals involved. Included with the letter should be a project budget, the amount of the grant sought from the Bradley Foundation, other sources of support, and a copy of the IRS letter confirming the organization’s tax-exempt and public-support status under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code.
Meetings between the Foundation staff and applicants, when necessary, will be arranged after the receipt of a written proposal. Final authority for making grants rests with the Board of Directors, which meets four times a year, February, May or June, August, and November. The Directors act on grant requests after proposals have been comprehensively reviewed by Foundation staff. Each proposal is reviewed according to its unique characteristics. To be considered at one of these meetings, proposals should be submitted by the following dates: November 1, February 1, May 1, August 1.
Whenever possible, proposals submitted by these deadlines will be considered at the next Board meeting. However, circumstances may sometimes require a lengthier period of review.
Because of the necessarily limited resources of the Foundation, many worthwhile projects cannot be supported. The demands on the Foundation’s resources also limit the size of particular grants and the ability of the Foundation to make commitments for extended periods.

37 Bradley Symposium Bradley Symposium 2010
The 2010 off-year elections and opinion surveys suggested that the public is increasingly frustrated with the current direction of public policy. It seems to many that Washington, D.C. is out of touch with the concerns of the American people, pursuing sweeping overhauls of health care, education, and environmental regulation, while ignoring immediate concerns like disappearing jobs and the likelihood of greatly increased taxes to cover runaway government spending. Clearly, liberalism has provoked a populist insurgency against its ambitious plans for making America anew.
But how should American conservatism relate to this mood? After all, conservatism stands for tradition, high culture, social order, and moderation, none of which jibe well with the populist passions of the moment. Is the notion of populist conservatism an oxymoron? Or can conservatism tap into the new Tea Party's populist energy without compromising its essential principles?
The 2010 Bradley Symposium in Washington, "Tea Time: Pence at the 2010 Bradley Symposium Can There Be a Populist Conservatism?", tried answering these questions.
Hosted by the Hudson Institute's Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal and National Affairs magazine, the Symposium featured Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana; FreedomWorks chairman and former Speaker of the House Dick Armey; Michael Barone, 2010 Bradley Prize recipient, Washington Examiner senior political analyst, and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics; and Jonah Goldberg, journalist and author of Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change. The Weekly Standard's William Kristol, another Bradley Prize recipient, moderated the discussion.
"Third parties are like bees," Goldberg said. "They have their influence by stinging, and then they die. If the tea party successfully stings the Republican Party into girding its loins and returning to its roots and providing a choice and all of these sorts of things, it will already have served its purpose."
The Tea Party movement, Pence said, is about "going back to the source of our greatness, which is our character, our faith, our belief in limited government."
Audio and video clips of the 2010 Bradley Symposium are available online, as is an edited transcript.
