Restoration of America Foundation works to advance a vision of turning to God and enforcing just laws by promoting transparent elections, economic freedom, limited government, military strength, secure borders, rule of law, and the sanctity of life; it supports journalism, voter-file transparency, civic programs (including citizenship classes), and policy research to restore what it describes as America-first values.
A $4,462,462 restricted grant to Be Good to Kids LLC is the largest recent award on file for Foundation for the Restoration of America, and it sets the tone for a portfolio built around election integrity, civic infrastructure, and policy advocacy. The foundation’s grant record also includes seven-figure support for The America Fund Inc. and American Majority Inc., alongside major restricted funding for Voter Reference Foundation. Across those awards, the foundation backs organizations working on transparent elections, voter-file transparency, journalism and media, military reform, pro-life research, and civic education. It also appears to use both restricted grants and general support, suggesting a mix of targeted project funding and broader organizational backing. Recent grants include support for groups in Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee, and Washington, DC, with several recipients tied to legal advocacy, campaign infrastructure, and conservative policy work. The pattern points to a funder focused on institutions that shape election systems, public debate, and legal or civic rules rather than direct service delivery.
Election integrity is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it awarded $658,846 to Voter Reference Foundation in Downers Grove, Illinois, as a restricted grant, and it also gave $1,249,998 to American Majority Inc. in Purcellville, Virginia, for general support. Civic and educational work appears as another strand: School Board for Academic Excellence in Chicago received $500,000 for general support, while One Nation Under God in Bensenville received $130,000 for general support. The foundation also backs legal and policy organizations. Fidelis Center for Law & Policy in Carmel, Indiana received $325,002 for general support, and WI Institute for Law & Liberty Inc. in Milwaukee received $100,000 for litigation support. Its portfolio also reaches into media-adjacent and public-safety advocacy, including a $96,200 grant to We Love Police in Barrington, Illinois.
The typical grant size is relatively large: the 25th percentile is $107,500, the median is $287,501, and the 75th percentile is $619,134. The recent record shows both one-time awards and repeat support to the same organization across different years, including WI Institute for Law & Liberty Inc. in 2024 and 2025 and Center for Security Policy in both years. The foundation uses restricted grants, general support, and litigation support, indicating a mix of targeted and flexible funding. Its filing status also shows it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
