Overview

Mission

We believe that parents instinctively know how to protect their children's innocence. Our mission is to create actionable tools for parents so they can confidently fight for their children without apology.

What it reported doing in 2024

We led the fight to expose k-12 school-based health centers (sbhc) using leftist school districts in Maine as prototypes. In the school district msad 11, our efforts lead to the board receiving over 14,000 emails from all over the nation in rejection of installing a sbhc. From our experience we produced a training manual, that doubles as a script, for any school board member in america that wishes to force transparency so parents understand the true nature of sbhc.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
