The Jack Miller Center (JMC) is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, nonpartisan educational organization dedicated to supporting and promoting the teaching of America's founding principles and history at U.S. colleges and universities. Founded in 2004 by entrepreneur Jack Miller (founder of Quill Corporation, later acquired by Staples), JMC originated as a division of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Miller's vision was driven by his conviction that preserving the American dream requires citizens to deeply understand the nation's foundational ideals. The organization began by convening leading professors to assess the state of higher education and emphasize robust civic education rooted in historical and philosophical contexts.

Over the years, JMC has expanded its initiatives to support educators and institutions. In 2016, it launched programs for professional development of high school teachers in founding principles and history, alongside graduate-level courses. By 2021, JMC began forging partnerships with aligned organizations, culminating in the inaugural National Summit on Civic Education in 2022. In 2023, the center established the National Civics Council and restructured its Academic Advisory Councils. June 2024 marked the hosting of its first major national conference, further solidifying its role in fostering thoughtful civic engagement. JMC provides grants, resources, and training to faculty, aiming to reinvigorate curricula amid concerns over declining emphasis on Western heritage and constitutional studies.

Institutionally, JMC maintains affiliations with influential figures such as William Kristol, reflecting its connections within conservative intellectual networks. While presenting as nonpartisan, its focus on traditional American principles has drawn associations with right-leaning educational efforts, positioning it as a key player in debates over higher education's ideological direction.
