Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 100). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission

COALITION FOR LIBERTY, INC. (COALITION) WAS FORMED TO PROMOTE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, ADVANCE EDUCATION, AND TO PROMOTE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION. THE COALITION BELIEVES THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS VITAL TO GIVING STUDENTS A SOUND BASIC EDUCATION. EDUCATORS AND SPEAKERS IN ACADEMIC SETTINGS MUST BE GIVEN THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS DIFFERING VIEWPOINTS IN ORDER TO SIMULATE DEBATE AND CREATIVE THOUGHT. IN ADDITION, TEACHERS SHOULD SEEK TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH A RICH ASSORTMENT OF VIEWPOINTS AND IDEAS TO PROVOKE THOUGHT AND RESPECT FOR THE OPINION OF OTHERS. THE COALITION WILL FUND PROGRAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO PROTECTING FREE SPEECH AND PUBLICLY OUTLINE ACTIONS BY FACULTY GROUPS, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND SCHOOL BOARDS THAT BOTH INHIBIT AND PROMOTE FREE SPEECH. IT WILL OPPOSE AND HIGHLIGHT THE DANGERS OF CANCEL CULTURE, WHICH SEEKS TO QUIET DIFFERING OPINIONS.

  • OUR FIRST PROGRAM SERVICE AREA IS SUPPORTING FREE SPEECH WHERE WE HAVE HELPED INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE UNDER ATTACK FOR THEIR BELIEFS RECEIVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND PAID FOR THOSE ATTORNEYS TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS AGAINST FALSE AND MALICIOUS STATEMENTS OR CHARGES. IN 2025, WE HIRED NUMEROUS ATTORNEYS TO HELP DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE BEING ATTACKED FOR EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. WE HAVE TWO LAWSUITS THAT ARE ONGOING. THESE ARE THE FOUR LAW FIRMS WITH ASSOCIATED EXPENSES: THE DOWLING FIRM PLLC 10,047.25 SNEED PLLC 11,700.50 VOGEL LAW FIRM 82,244.44 WARD AND SMITH 918.75

    Expenses $159,831 · Grants $6,675

  • THE SECOND PROGRAM SERVICE WITHIN OUR NONPROFIT IS SUPPORTING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS,WHERE WE CREATED TWO ONLINE SEARCHABLE DIRECTORIES OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT LIST WHAT EACH ORGANIZATION'S MAIN FOCUS IS AND WHAT THEY OFFER, AND WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO MATCH THOSE WHO HAVE RESOURCES WITH THOSE WHO NEED THEM. THE TWO DIRECTORIES ARE THE LIBERTY DIRECTORY, WHICH FOCUSES ON TRADITIONAL NONPROFIT GRASSROOTS GROUPS, THINK TANKS, DONORS, MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, GROUPS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES AND SUPPORT TO NONPROFITS, LEGALLY ORIENTED NONPROFIT GROUPS, AND ATTORNEYS WHO WILL PROVIDE DISCOUNTED OR PRO BONO SERVICES TO NONPROFITS. THE SECOND DIRECTORY IS THE ALLIANCE DIRECTORY, WHICH IS DEDICATED TO CREATING A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS TO FIGHT ANTISEMITISM. THE PURPOSE OF BOTH DIRECTORY'S IS TO FOSTER COLLABORATION AND HELP THOSE WITH RESOURCES CONNECT WITH THOSE WHO HAVE THEM. BY UNDERSTANDING THE MISSIONS AND OBJECTIVES OF THESE GROUPS, WE ARE ABLE TO MATCH THEM UP WITH EACH OTHER FOR NETWORKING AND SUPPORT. WE HAVE ALSO ATTENDED EVENTS WHERE INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE PRESENT TO ASSIST THEM WITH PROTECTING THEIR MEMBERS' RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH, RAISING MONEY, OR COLLABORATING WITH OTHERS, OBTAINING TRAINING, RESOURCES, AND OTHER SUPPORT FOR THEIR GROUPS, OR ASSISTING THEM WITH STARTING SCHOOLS OR ENHANCING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN. IN 2025,WE ATTENDED EVENTS SUCH AS THE STATE POLICY NETWORK. WE CREATED AN ONLINE RELATIONAL DATABASE OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE FUNDING, TRAINING, AND SUPPORT FOR GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH THE PURPOSE OF TRYING TO GET SUPPORT FROM THOSE WHO HAVE IT WITH THOSE WHO NEED IT. WE DID THE SAME FOR THE ALLIANCE DIRECTORY THAT UNITES JEWS AND CHRISTIANS IN A FIGHT AGAINST ANTISEMITISM.

    Expenses $79,784

  • OUR THIRD PROGRAM SERVICE AREA IS ASSISTING WITH IMPROVING THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN WHERE WE HAVE CREATED PARTNERSHIPS WITH INVESTMENT BANKS THAT WILL HELP SCHOOLS OBTAIN FUNDING AND LEARNED HOW TO HELP RURAL SCHOOLS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE USDA FUNDING PROGRAMS FOR LOW COST FUNDING FOR SCHOOL BUILDING OR LAND PURCHASES FOR EXPANDING SCHOOL FACILITIES. WE HAVE REFERRED SCHOOLS OVER TO THESE GROUPS AND HELPED THEM WITH THE MESSAGING TO OBTAIN SUPPORT AND DONATIONS. IN 2025, WE CONTINUED ASSISTED WITH IMPROVING THE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN. WE HAVE REFERRED A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS TO INVESTMENT BANKS AND THE USDA FOR FUNDING OPTIONS. WE ARE WORKING WITH LEGISLATORS TO CREATE NEW LEGISLATION TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION, OR EXPULSION FOR IMPROPER REASONS. WE ARE DEVELOPING PLANS TO HELP SCHOOLS AMEND THEIR BYLAWS, ENROLLMENT AGREEMENTS, AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS TO COMPORT WITH THE GOALS OF THE SCHOOL. WE ARE WORKING ON HELPING TO DEVELOP NEW ACCREDITATION BODIES TO IMPROVE CHOICES FOR SCHOOLS AND IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN IN EXISTING ACCREDITATION ORGANIZATIONS.

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.

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

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

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.
