Since our founding in 2004, Americans for Prosperity has been driven by a core belief: every person has unique gifts that enable them to realize their American Dream.
Our vision is to remove the barriers preventing people from using those gifts and achieving that dream. That’s why Americans for Prosperity built a grassroots movement across the nation. Our infrastructure now elevates the voices of millions of people to advocate the principles and policies of a free and open society.
From Miami, Florida, to Anchorage, Alaska and from Phoenix, Arizona, to Columbus, Ohio – millions of our fellow Americans volunteer their time and passion to join with us to bring change, hope, and a better way forward.
This vision and these grassroots activists have always been — and will always be — at the center of our efforts.
In response to big spending policies enacted by both parties, we focused our early activity on advancing economic freedom and limiting government to its most productive role so prosperity could flourish for every American. Over time, we saw additional barriers harming people’s freedom and opportunity, and have broadened our portfolio of issues accordingly.
Today, we’ve brought together successful nonpartisan coalitions to achieve what others said couldn’t be done in areas such as health care, criminal justice, and are working to do the same on immigration reform and irresponsible government spending, while remaining committed to the issues that gave us our start, such as tax reform and reforming unnecessary and burdensome regulations.
The same foundational belief in people guides our actions across all these diverse public policies – and motivates our team to dedicate our lives to this work.
It’s tempting to look at the challenges facing our nation and feel overwhelmed – like one person can’t make a difference, or that we’re too divided to find a way forward. Americans for Prosperity exists to overcome those obstacles and unite people behind solutions.
So join us and the millions of voices across the country, united by the principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence, who are committed to empowering every American to realize their American Dream and move our country forward together.
