Overview

Mission

Protect ar families advocates for the constitutional rights of everyday arkansans by fighting against legislation garnered by special interest groups. This began with issue one, which was a proposed amendment on the 2018 ballot that purported to limit attorney fees and punitive/non-economic damages awarded to claimants in personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death lawsuits. Protect ar families is continuing the fight against similar issues arising on upcoming ballots. Contributions from our supporters are used to educate the public about the intentions of special-interest groups attempting to strip constitutional rights away from the citizens of Arkansas.

What it reported doing in 2024

Protect ar families advocates for the protection of constitutional rights in the civil justice system for average arkansans. We oppose legislation promoted by special interest groups which weakens our 7th amendment constitutional right to trial by jury in civil cases, places a monetary price on human life, or which rigs the system in favor of the rich and powerful at the expense of the rights of average citizens.

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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
