What Citizen Awareness Project Inc does
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.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
See Section 4b
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
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.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $195k to $250k (+29%).
How it's funded, over time
