Overview

Mission

To protect and defend life, marriage, family and liberty through education, advocacy and empowerment.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization's primary mission is to educate the public and its supporters on policy matters pertaining to the sanctity of life, biblical marriage, traditional family, and religious liberty. The organization provides weekly updates to floridians during each legislative session regarding the progress of proposed legislation that affects life, marriage, family, and religious liberty. The organization provides non-partisan voter guides to educate millions of voters on a biennial basis. The organization's scholarship grant program enables students aged 16-24 to attend programs such as summit ministries, teen pact, patriot academy, and other summer learning experiences, all of which emphasize leadership and character development within the framework of a christian worldview. The organization hosts "pro-life, pro-family days" annually at the state capitol in tallahassee. This comprehensive two-day event equips attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage with legislators, gain insight into the legislative process, and stay informed about critical issues under discussion during the legislative session. Students, parents, pastors, pregnancy center directors, and business professionals take part. The pro-life, pro-family days program includes visits to the supreme court, tours of the house chambers, and opportunities to observe live debates in legislative committees. The Florida capitol project trains pastors in civic and cultural affairs, facilitates meetings with legislators and enables the pastors to pray with the legislators and their staffs. Led by a full-time director of pastoral ministries, this program bridges the gap between spiritual and governmental leaders. The organization hosts an annual dinner, featuring notable speakers who focus on life, marriage, family and/or religious liberty. Throughout the year the organization provides floridians with up-to-date information regarding events that impact life, marriage, family and liberty via mailings, email blasts and social media postings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 89% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
