Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Based in Billings, Montana the 1776 Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, seeks to improve government and politics by working to inform and equip the people of Montana to better evaluate policy options that uphold traditional American values, historic civil liberties, the Montana Constitution and the Constitution of the United States of America.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
1776 Foundation promotes 5 Programs to accomplish its mission. These include: 1) Gadsden Flag license plate which Montanans can purchase when they register a Montana vehicle. One of the best selling plates being an iconic symbol supporting liberty and the rugged, independent American spirit. 2) Free Constitution Project provides free copies of the Montana Constitution to educators, parents and the public. Unfortunately, most public schools do not offer such coursework and so we seek to fill this void to equip our citizens. We have distributed over 19,000 free copies in 2021. 3) Liberty Lessons a series of radio messages designed to give you a deeper understanding of the meaning and history of Montana and U.S. Constitutions. Delivered by exciting Montana political, business and community leaders. 4) Grant Program supports like-minded Montana based organizations and has distributed $14,000 in funding in 2021.5) Bill of Rights hard card, the size of a business card, spells out the first 10 Amendments so you can take your rights with you everywhere you go! We are excited to have added this program and proudly shipped over 1,900 cards in this year.$61,684-
