Overview

Mission

The organization is a nonprofit corporation that shall be organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes and other programs and projects as described in 170(c)(2)(B), 501(c)(3), 2055(a)(2), and 2522(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws. The organization principally exists to (a) assist federal employees who faced job insecurity, including threat of termination of employment and discrimination due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates; (b) support federal employees who seek to improve accountability, transparency, and uphold constitutional rights within the federal service by building a supportive coalition; (c) provide transparency to the American public through Freedom of Information Act requests and through the podcast; (d) solicit and receive funds for the accomplishment of the above purposes; and (e) pursue any other lawful purpose permitted to be pursued by a charity (or, by a private foundation

What it reported doing in 2024

Litigation - The organization has organized and provided legal assistance with more than 16 class action lawsuits pending at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or in Federal Court. We successfully litigated our initial lawsuit Feds for Medical Freedom v. Biden up to the United States Supreme Court. Due to this lawsuit, we received an injunction that was in effect for two years and we were able to protect the careers of an estimated 400,000 federal employees up through and past the rescission of the Executive Order that created the mandates. We have also partnered with other non-profit organizations to support legal action against federal labor unions.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
