Overview

Mission

Door to freedom engages in research, analysis, writing, publishing, and education about global issues and organizations.

What it reported doing in 2025

The corporation develops and maintains a web publishing platform to educate the general public about issues relating to global governance structures, mechanisms, operations, and practices impacting the entire world. Door to freedom was created to help us retain our rights and freedoms by collecting the information we need about the changes in our world. We publish 2-minute summaries, or detailed discussions about what is happening in the world right now, and what our governments and international organizations are planning. Our website includes videos and articles written for us, by us, and also includes videos and articles from outside.

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

SUPPORTED - 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
