The Free Expression Policy Project began in 2000 as part of the National Coalition Against Censorship, to provide empirical research and policy development on tough censorship issues and seek free speech-friendly solutions to the concerns that drive censorship campaigns. From May 2004 to March 2007, it was part of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law. FEPP has been supported by grants from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Educational Foundation of America, the Open Society Institute, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
