America First Policy Institute
The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by former Trump administration officials in April 2021.[1]
Launched "Constitutional Litigation Partnership"
In May 2021, the organization launched the Constitutional Litigation Partnership, which AFPI's President and CEO Brooke Rollins called "another strong addition to AFPI's already impressive arsenal of weapons against these assaults on our freedoms."[2] Brooke said the Constitutional Litigation Partnership was important because "Federalism, free speech, and the rule of law are under attack. Big tech, big media, and big government wield unprecedented power against the interests of the American way of life."[2]
Core Financials
Core financials taken from IRS filings are not available but it was reported that AFPI has a first-year budget of $20 million and hopes to have $40 by its second operating year, according to Brooke Rollins, the organization's president.[1]
