What The Legacy Foundation Action Fund does
Mission
To further the common good and general welfare of the citizens of the united states by educating the public on public policy issues, including state fiscal and tax policy, the creation of an entrepreneurial environment, education, labor-management relations, citizenship, civil rights, and government transparency issues.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Social welfare spending was focused on educating iowans about free market principals and consumer choices in the regulated energy utility, and financial lending market.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $9k to $47k (+455%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
