Mission

Advancing freedom, inc was formed for the purpose of educating the public on and advocating for conservative and free market solutions to policy problems facing society. The group will also focus on waste and abuse of tax dollars.

Advertising to educate the public about important spending and policy issues and the organization's proposed conservative, free market solutions to these issues.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
