Inquiry Institute Announces the Alpha Program

$99 for complete 2026 access—and the chance to help define the Institute itself

A founding membership for early patrons who want full access to the Institute’s 2026 program year and a direct role in shaping its direction, culture, and governance.

Winter Solstice, 2025 — The Inquiry Institute today announced the Alpha Program, a founding membership designed for early patrons who want to participate in building a new kind of intellectual institution.

Alpha members receive complete access for the 2026 program year—along with concrete ways to help define what the Institute becomes: its standards, its priorities, and the lived culture of inquiry that emerges as the community grows.

The Alpha Program is priced at $99 for 2026. It is an invitation to be present at the beginning: to support the work, to influence its shape, and to collaborate on the systems that make the Institute durable—programs, patronage, and governance.

Highlights

  • Complete access for the full 2026 program year
  • Early access to new programs, pilots, and member features
  • Founding participation: propose initiatives, shape norms, and contribute to governance
  • A direct channel for feedback on what the Institute builds next
