The National Policy Institute (NPI) is a white supremacist think tank based in Alexandria, Virginia.
It acts as a lobbying group for white supremacists and seeks to provide a "so-called alt-right" "intellectual vanguard". Its president as of 2016 is Richard B. Spencer, a founder of the blog Alternative Right. It publishes the journal Radix.
NPI was founded in 2005 by William Regnery II. Louis R. Andrews was the chairman until 2010. Andrews said that he had voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election because "I want to see the Republican Party destroyed, so it can be reborn as a party representing the interests of white people, and not entrenched corporate elites." When Andrews died in 2011, he was replaced by Richard B. Spencer.
The group was based in Augusta, Georgia at its founding, but by 2013 had relocated to Montana. Spencer divides his time between Montana and Virginia; in 2016, the group was based in Arlington, Virginia. By early 2017, the NPI had leased a townhouse office space on King Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, where it maintains its headquarters today. City leaders in Arlington and Alexandria acknowledged the NPI's right to operate, but denounced the group's views. The group's presence in Alexandria has prompted several protests.
James B. Taylor was vice president of the NPI for a time, and was listed as such in the group's 2012 tax return. Taylor's involvement with NPI attracted some attention because Taylor is also involved in more mainstream conservative groups, such as the Young America's Foundation, of which Taylor is a former executive director and a current board member.
