Overview

Mission

Crossroads grassroots policy strategies is a non-profit public policy advocacy organization that is dedicated to educating, equipping, and engaging american citizens to take action on important economic and legislative issues that will shape our nation's future. The vision of crossroads gps is to empower private citizens to determine the direction of government policymaking rather than being the disenfranchised victims of it. Through issue research, public communications, events with policymakers, and outreach to interested citizens, crossroads gps seeks to elevate understanding of consequential national policy issues, and to build grassroots support for legislative and policy changes that promote private sector economic growth, reduce needless government regulations, impose stronger financial discipline and accountability on government, and strengthen america's national security.

What it reported doing in 2024

Crossroads gps conducts research to determine how various demographic groups respond to current national policy issues, what priorities and concerns they have, and which public policy issues they might be most inclined to take action on through grassroots participation. Crossroads gps also sponsors in-depth policy research on significant issues, especially those that are currently under-reported but are likely to have a substantial impact on government policymaking in the future.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
