The National Policy Institute is a think tank based in Augusta, Georgia in the United States. It describes itself as the right's answer to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Institute's scholars have produced a series of reports on affirmative action, race and conservatism, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and its first annual report, The State of White America-2007.

Its chairman is Louis R. Andrews, who voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 US Presidential Election in order, he said, to help destroy the Republican Party so that it can be reborn into a party that will support the "interests of white people".

The August 2007 issue of American Renaissance magazine published an extensive review of NPI’s report. Reviewer Thomas Jackson praised the report’s chapter on America’s changing racial and ethnic demographics by statistician Edwin Rubenstein, criticized the chapter on the changing workplace by Australian historian, R. J. Stove, and had a nuanced response to the introduction, and chapters on crime and education by Nicholas Stix. Jackson criticized Stix for the latter’s harsh tone in his introduction to the report, while praising him for his exhaustive reporting on black-on-white school atrocities, the pitfalls of affirmative action hiring of black police officers, and for his chapter on black-on-white crime.[1]

On April 8, 2008, the SPLC’s Mark Potok[2] condemned the National Policy Institute as a “white supremacist” organization, and wrote that its report, The State of White America-2007, “paints ‘a statistical and narrative portrait of the war on white America,’ in the website’s words. Nicholas Stix’s introduction [3] to the article describes the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling outlawing school segregation as ‘arguably the worse [sic] decision in the Court’s 216 year history.’ He claims later civil rights legislation was unconstitutional. ‘[I]ntegration and the civil rights movement led directly to the destruction of great cities,’ he concludes.”

The Institute is reported to have received a grant from the Pioneer Fund.[4]
