Overview
Mission
The 1776 Project Foundation’s mission is to create and disseminate policies that will promote academic achievement and revitalize our educational system for families and students across the nation.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization conducts research on improving education standards, writes model legislation which is reflective of that research, and creates educational white papers and programs on these issues. The organization educates the general public regarding such issues by making relevant information available to the general public through one or more websites, publications, newsletters, news articles, studies, information resources and databases, seminars, the presentation of public discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures, and other similar means.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
