The mission of the corporation is to inform and educate everyday citizens about the persistent overreach of government at all levels into the personal lives of citizens through excessive statutory and regulatory policies that limit economic choice and influence behavior.

What it reported doing in 2025

Updated and maintained a website which served as an informational clearing house on the organization and helped individuals contact the team. Created content for organization social media channels, and engaged with coalition members and other like-minded orgs/individuals to educate public and legislature on important issues impacting economic freedom in Texas.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
