Overview

Mission

Advocacy concerning democratic values, national security and defense; lobbying of government officials in favor of policies that further the defense of the u.s. And its constitution; development of coalitions with other organizations to increase effectiveness

What it reported doing in 2025

Act for america is the nation's premier grassroots movement focused on educating, engaging, and mobilizing citizens and elected officials to impact legislative outcomes to protect our nation's security, western democratic values, and basic human rights. We led the grassroots effort that resulted in the passage of numerous state and federal level bills that enhance our culture, sovereignty, and national security, including wins with our signature legislative efforts: stopping critical race theory, election integrity, stop big tech censorship, and protect and service act.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
