The Gravel Institute (/ɡrəˈvɛl/ grə-VELL) was a progressive left-wing advocacy group founded in 2020 that aimed to counteract American conservative think tanks in general, particularly PragerU.[2][3] The Gravel Institute was named for its founder Mike Gravel, a former United States senator from Alaska and two-time U.S. presidential candidate. The Gravel Institute promoted left-wing views, including wealth redistribution, criticism of United States foreign policy, and direct democracy.[3]

The Institute ceased producing new video content during 2022;[4] its website was shuttered on July 16, 2023, for lack of payment.[5][6]
