Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $30,838 spent. We continued producing monthly educational videos and digital content highlighting state legislative activity and educating citizens on issues directly impacting families, communities, and individual liberties. Our content remains focused on defending traditional family values and constitutional rights in Tennessee.
  2. $27,134 spent. Our digital advocacy platform continues to give Tennesseans a user-friendly way to contact their state representatives on key issues. Thousands of citizens sent hundreds of thousands of messages to legislators through our online portal, influencing dozens of legislative initiatives. Our reach and engagement remained strong, and this year we crossed a milestone of having over 1,000,000 emails sent to the legislature by Tennesseans using our website.
  3. $15,126 spent. We continued publishing The Tennessee Legislative Report Card, scoring the votes of Tennessee legislators on key conservative issues. This ongoing project serves as a transparent accountability tool for citizens and legislators alike and remains central to our mission of promoting integrity and limited government in Tennessee. In 2024, we also continued distributing The Tennessee Legislative Survey, gathering input from citizens statewide on key policy questions to inform legislators and advocate for conservative values. The survey remains the only grassroots-led conservative survey of its kind in Tennessee.
