Overview
Mission
The alliance was organized to sponsor voter educational programming, advocate for legislation, regulations, and government programs consistent with a conservative reform agenda, and to conduct public opinion research into voter preferences.
What it reported doing in 2016
The alliance seeks to promote religious liberty and constitutional freedoms through citizen education and issue advocacy. The alliance has dissolved and distributed all assets to the liberty fund, an educational 501(c)(3), with the mission of encouraging a deeper understanding of the requisites for restoring and preserving the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
