Restoration of America

About Restoration of America

Restoration of America’s grantmaking is anchored by large general-support awards to a cluster of conservative advocacy organizations, with American Majority Action Inc receiving $14,285,000 in 2025 and Over the Horizon receiving $10,704,250 the same year. The pattern is not limited to one beneficiary: Susan B Anthony List appears in multiple years, including a $5,333,335 grant in 2025 and a $5,083,250 grant in 2024, while Tea Party Patriots Action Inc and Liberty Initiative Fund also recur across the recent grant list. That mix points to a funder that combines very large unrestricted gifts with some restricted and project-specific support. The foundation’s stated purpose is to educate Americans that the principles of the nation’s founding should continue to serve as the foundation for the future and to restore those principles in government and society. Its recent awards reflect that mission through civic and constitutional work, election and policy advocacy, and scholarship support. The Constitution Scholarship program adds a direct education pathway, offering scholarships of up to $10,000 to students who complete required Hillsdale College courses and apply. Restoration of America is led by Doug Truax and operates with substantial annual grantmaking relative to its asset base, indicating a grant-focused structure rather than an endowment-heavy profile.

What Restoration of America Funds

Civic education appears in both its program and its broader grantmaking. The Constitution Scholarship supports constitutional studies and education, with awards of up to $10,000 for eligible students who complete required Hillsdale College courses. In election and public-policy advocacy, the foundation gave $3,166,668 to Tea Party Patriots Action Inc in 2025 and $625,000 to Center for Election Confidence in 2025 through Lawyers Democracy Fund. It also backed American Principles Project with $2,875,002 in 2024 and $610,985 in 2023, showing continued support for policy-oriented organizations over multiple years. Its recent grants also include anti-abortion advocacy and research, such as $5,333,335 to Susan B Anthony List in 2025, and support for labor and constitutional litigation work, including $3,343,556 to League of American Workers and $1,000,000 to Fair Courts America.
