Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Citizen Awareness Project exists to educate citizens and public officials on issues of public policy and to give them the tools necessary to make a difference in their community on issues affecting the public at large. Specifically, it researches and distributes information to citizens and public officials concerning the economy, jobs, foreign policy, health care policy, government spending, taxes, government regulations, and waste, fraud, and abuse of government resources. It also advocates policy solutions on such issues with a focus on supporting limited government, conservative thought and ideology, entrepreneurship, strong national security, economic growth, and freedom.
-
Citizen Awareness Project conducts extensive research to measure the current opinions of individuals, including within specific demographic groups, and how such individual's and groups' opinions change over time, whether such opinions might be changed, the most effective means for changing such opinions, and how to inspire such individuals and groups into action relative to the issues they are concerned about. Such research efforts are part of an ongoing effort to build a knowledge base about opinions different demographic groups hold in America relative to important policy and governance issues to more effectively promote center-right, conservative policy solutions from a grassroots level.
Expenses $124,000
-
Citizen Awareness Project engaged in research, public advocacy, and awareness surrounding legislation that would impact the rights of parents to make decisions on behalf of their children regarding social media use, a representation of government overreach and overregulation.
Expenses $346,078

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Not present in the most recent drop.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
