Overview

Mission

United We Pledge is a private nonprofit nonpartisan nondenominational organization established to celebrate our shared responsibility and allegiance to the traditional American values of freedom family and faith and our duty to be constitutional law-abiding citizens.

What it reported doing in 2025

Give Me Liberty is an in-school program for 5th grade middle-school students to teach civics education via interactive and immersive learning. The 5th graders have a workbook that takes them through exercises such as traditional learning of American history to acitvities such as interviewing an elected official and community service. At the end of the school year the 5th graders attend an awards ceremony. Their next experience with Give Me Liberty will be in the 8th grade and then again in the 10th grade.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
