What Coalition for Liberty Inc does
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.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
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

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…

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.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $192k to $8k (−96%).
How it's funded, over time
