Freedom house is an independent NON-partisan, NON-governmental organization that works to defend and expand freedom globally to help secure a world where ALL are free. We identify and analyze threats to freedom (research & analysis), mobilize decision makers to respond to those threats and seize opportunities for progress (policy & advocacy), and support activists and organizations working to defend and expand freedom (action).
This 501(c)(3) elected the 501(h) safe-harbor — lobbying expenditures are capped under a clear dollar formula instead of the "insubstantial part" standard.
