Overview

Mission

See Schedule O.FEC United is a movement of bold men and women who will restore and secure the blessings of liberty guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution.Courage is more infectious than fear. We, FEC United, and our members commit to support and defend the foundation of our American way of life through the pillars of faith, education, and commerce.

What it reported doing in 2021

See Schedule O.We equipped and educated tens of thousands of parents on their rights to fight back against indoctrination education and grooming in the school system. We provided them with the tools to connect and mobilize collectively with other organizations and the resources and options to remove their children from the public school system, with enrollment alternatives free from unconstitutional and immoral indoctrination. We also created a digital platform that allowed businesses in local communities to connect to each other and for the public to have the ability to find businesses that are like-minded, while detaching from those organizations which support unethical and unconstitutional values, i.e., the Chamber of Commerce. Lastly, we educated and connected pastors from around the nation with each other who share values and understand the crisis we are in as a nation.

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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
