With nearly thirty chapters and more than 3,000 volunteers spread across the nation, Freedoms Foundation is filled with people who wish to pass on a legacy of freedom and democracy, which requires active, engaged citizens ready to accept the responsibilities and challenges of self-government. We promote the ideals and principles of our free society and encourage all Americans to embrace their rights and responsibilities, and contribute to the common good.

Our educational programs are an investment that lasts a life-time, one that promises our experiment in limited self-government will not fail.
