Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE FREEDOM FOR ALL AMERICANS EDUCATION FUND IS DEDICATED TO INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS AROUND THE URGENT NEED FOR FULL NONDISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS FOR LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE NATIONWIDE. OUR WORK BRINGS TOGETHER CONSERVATIVES, BUSINESS LEADERS, PEOPLE OF FAITH, AND ALLIES FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES, TRAININGS, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION RESOURCES NEEDED TO CHANGE THE PUBLIC NARRATIVE AND CREATE A CLIMATE WHERE EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE URGENCY OF ELIMINATING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LESBIAN, GAY, BI-SEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER (LGBT) INDIVIDUALS; PROVIDE SUPPORT TO, AND COORDINATE WITH, OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMMATIC FOCUS.

  • FREEDOM FOR ALL AMERICANS IS THE BIPARTISAN CAMPAIGN TO SECURE FULL NONDISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE NATIONWIDE. OUR WORK BRINGS TOGETHER REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL, PEOPLE OF FAITH, AND ALLIES FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE TO MAKE THE CASE FOR COMPREHENSIVE NON-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS THAT ENSURE EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY. WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF SECURING FEDERAL STATUTORY PROTECTIONS FOR LGBTQ AMERICANS, FREEDOM FOR ALL AMERICANS WORKS AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVEL TO ADVANCE MEASURES AND LAWS PROTECTING FROM DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY AND EXPRESSION - WITHOUT ALLOWING OVERLY BROAD AND HARMFUL RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS THAT WILL ENCOURAGE EMPLOYERS, BUSINESS OWNERS OR OTHERS TO CHOOSE TO DISREGARD THOSE PROTECTIONS. OPPONENTS OF NON-DISCRIMINATION LAWS ARE CURRENTLY PURSUING STRATEGIES TO CHIP AWAY AT PROTECTIONS FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND UNDERMINE THE MOVEMENT'S GAINS. WE WILL PUSH AGAINST THESE ATTEMPTS TO CODIFY DISCRIMINATION. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO MERELY TAKE A DEFENSIVE POSTURE - WE MUST TAKE THE FIGHT ON THE OFFENSIVE, WITH A MULTI-YEAR INITIATIVE THAT SEIZES ON OUR BEST OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE LOCAL AND STATE-LEVEL VICTORIES. THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS WORK, WE MUST ALSO PURSUE A BROAD, AMBITIOUS INITIATIVE TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ABOUT WHO LGBTQ PEOPLE ARE AND WHY NON-DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS ARE SO CRITICAL. BY BUILDING MOMENTUM ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH STATE-LEVEL VICTORIES AND COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS, WE WILL CREATE PRESSURE NATIONALLY FOR THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO PASS FULL FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR ALL LGBTQ PEOPLE.

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.
