Overview

Mission

To educate the public and policymakers about alternatives to citizen-based taxation and to advocate for a residence- and source-based tax system through research public engagement and policy dialogue.

What it reported doing in 2025

Program #2: Public Education Awareness-Raising & Engagement. We continued a digital campaign to raise public awareness of the organizations formation objectives and volunteer-driven nature. We continued a social media engagement strategy that resulted in over 3,000 followers on LinkedIn and comparable followings on other platforms. A media outreach effort generated favorable coverage in major outlets e.g. Bloomberg The Wall Street Journal Fortune The Financial Times and various specialized publications. We also issued a monthly newsletter now reaching approximately 3,000 subscribers and published regular blog posts on our website and social channels.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
