Free the Facts is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization that provides young Americans – ages 18 to 35 – with reliable information about the economic and fiscal policies, programs, and challenges that will impact their lives.
Our educational programs and leadership initiatives help young Americans form their own opinions, create solutions, and meaningfully participate in the national debate about our country’s biggest challenges.
We don’t tell you what to think. We just make sure you can.
We serve as an honest broker in the conversation, acting as a tour guide through complex issues and information.
We connect today's experts with tomorrow's leaders.
Our policy advisors work for some of the nation’s preeminent think tanks, non-profit organizations, colleges, and universities. They have advised presidents, candidates, and major institutions. We’re giving young citizens the opportunity to connect with – and learn from – them in person.
Problems aren’t partisan.
Our bias isn’t ideological; it’s generational. We look at policy challenges from the perspective of what it means for citizens 35 and under. We do not advocate for a specific policy approach or ideological perspective. Instead, we provide informational resources that paint a clear picture of the challenges that lie ahead - and we create spaces where citizens can discuss a broad range of solutions.
