What it reported doing in 2025
Using a variety of tactics, we force leaders to confront the epidemic of gun violence and to implement lifesaving measures to restrict access to firearms and provide critical resources to preventative measures that address the root causes of the gun violence crisis.march for our lives educates and mobilizes young people to advance gun safety measures through policy and legislative advocacy, judicial advocacy, and youth voter registration and turnout.policy and legislative advocacy - we work at the state and federal levels to pass gun safety laws such as universal background checks, safe storage laws, and funding for community violence intervention programs.judicial advocacy - we defend gun safety laws against court challenges that seek to weaken gun laws and expand the second amendment. We also run campaigns to invite students-including aspiring legal professionals-into the work to shape second amendment jurisprudence.civic engagement and voter mobilization - mfol organizers use digital and on-the-ground organizing to educate young voters about the issue of gun violence and to ensure they're registered and prepared to vote.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
