Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

American Moment creates educational web content and publications, hosts educational conferences, develops a personnel database to connect students and young professionals with new and existing conservative institutions, and coordinate with existing campus and youth organizations with respect to educational initiatives and events.

  • Events - American Moment hosts over a dozen events per year ranging from family-friendly networking parties to professional development workshops to private salon dinners. Whatever the format, these events help those looking to join a larger network of like-minded individuals who support strong families, a sovereign nation, and prosperity for all, learn about professional best practices, find new opportunities, and build influence.

    Expenses $426,410

  • Fellowship for American Statecraft - American Moment organizes and pays accepted Fellows $3,000 per month for the summer and places them at an internship either on Capitol Hill or in the public policy non-profit sphere in Washington, D.C. The stipend is designed to be livable and not require outside housing supplementation, and Fellows are placed with American Moment allies to develop on-the-job skills and key early career credentials.

    Expenses $375,766

  • Web Content//American Moment Studios - American Moment Studios is the content generation arm of American Moment, bringing digestible visual and written content to a mass audience. Moment of Truth is American Moments original podcast production geared toward young people with an interest in policy and politics where young minds can engage with the best of what is being said and discussed in the conservative movement, keeping them up to date on the straight and narrow. Each episode features a guest at the top of their field discussing how they achieved their prominence, what they believe in, and what the best path forward for our nation is.

    Expenses $268,462

  • Coalitions - With an eye toward the future, we have created and maintained an internal database of vetted young people, including detailed notes on a given individuals background, policy expertise, interests, professional history, connections, worldview, and influences. As a result, when potential employers contact American Moment for personnel recommendations, we quickly can present them with viable candidates, making their hiring process simpler and augmenting our influence. This process is achieved through extensive interviews with young people who are looking to get involved or grow their influence. In these meetings, American Moment ascertains an individual?s historical and contemporary influences, their fluency on key policy issues, the states they have ties to, and the sort of work they are interested in pursuing.

    Expenses $181,597

  • AMFridays- American Moment hosts weekly, catered lunches on Capitol Hill where hundreds of interns, staff assistants, legislative correspondents, and other staff can participate in foundational seminars on the core public policy issues of our time. At these lunches, leading academics, commentators, and public policy experts tackle how a responsible and effective conservative should meet the crises of family formation, national solidarity, and great power competition in the 21st century.

    Expenses $69,571

  • Foundations - Foundations is a twelve-week, rigorous educational program designed to give interns already placed in positions in Washington, DC an education in conservative public policy.

    Expenses $64,411

  • Frontiers - Frontiers courses are multi-week seminars led by some of the most knowledgeable subject matter experts in all of American public policy and politics. These intensive seminars are designed to teach students new concepts, frame who they should be studying on the issues, and connect them with other rising stars in their field.

    Expenses $10,297
