Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
The American Action Network creates, encourages and promotes center-right policies based on the principles of freedom, limited government, American exceptionalism and strong national security.
-
American Action Network conducted extensive issue advocacy and grassroots mobilization, utilizing a range of strategies such as television advertising, direct mail, automated phone calls, digital advocacy, public opinion surveys, and grants to allied organizations. Our efforts primarily focused on nationwide advocacy opposing fiscally irresponsible measures like Build Back Better and the Inflation Reduction Act, while heavily advocating for comprehensive energy policy aimed at reducing costs for consumers and businesses, relieving burdens on taxpayers, boosting American energy production, and promoting competitiveness with China and other countries. Additionally, we advocated other key policies and legislation aligned with center-right principles related to public safety, healthcare, and national debt-related issues.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
