Overview

Mission

The Corporation shall be a non-profit non-stock corporation and shall be organized and operated exclusively to promote social welfare within the meaning of Code Section 501c4 to promote and advance policies that benefit the health safety and welfare of Americans and educate those individuals regarding how those policies improve their lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

Organization is dedicated to educating Americans on successful conservative policies that enhance the lives of individuals throughout the United States. We achieve this through a series of events and meetings held across the country as well as through targeted advertising publications and strategic communication efforts. To support these activities independent contractors with specialized skills and expertise work on organizations projects. These contractors play a vital role in helping effectively reach and engage the target audience ensuring the message is delivered in a compelling and impactful manner.

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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
