Overview

Mission

The foundation is dedicated to the enrichment of the united states by encouraging citizens to embrace their rights and responsibilities, by promoting the founding ideals of liberty and democracy and providing a platform for voicing common concerns and interests.

What it reported doing in 2025

The foundation is a non-partisan organization without its own policy objectives that provides a platform for the exchange of ideas, increased public awareness, engagement of the community in the electoral process, and participation in their federal, state, and local governments. The foundation does this through media outreach, educational events and opportunities, and conducting research on topics relevant to the foundation's mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
