IRS990/Desc0During FY 2020, the American Conservative Union Foundation ACUF hosted events that included elected officials, community leaders, and every-day Americans to discuss conservative policy perspectives and solutions. Through ACUFs Policy Centers the Nolan Center for Justice and the Center for Legislative Accountability we brought together respected thought leaders on a range of issues to distill important ideas about policy solutions. Due to our conservative principles the Nolan Center for Justice not only worked with the Trump administration, but Congress, and state legislators in 20 plus states - working together on policy solutions regarding fiscal accountability, public safety, and human dignity to those behind bars. The Center for Legislative Accountability analyzed over 105,000 bills introduced across all 50 state legislatures and congress to rate nearly 8,000 lawmakers and their adherence to conservative principles.
