2024 was a breakthrough year for the State Policy Network and the critical work happening in states across the country. Our 50-state Network delivered practical solutions to some of America’s most pressing challenges—everything from expanding education freedom to ensuring energy reliability to breaking down barriers to economic opportunity. These victories may not dominate headlines, but they’re transforming lives in communities from Alaska to Florida, and everywhere in between.
Our programs have strengthened our Network of leaders, accelerated critical policy victories, and built a Durable Freedom Infrastructure that ensures our victories are preserved for the long term.

GIFT ACCEPTANCE POLICY
SPN’s vision, mission, and values are the sole guides for what we say, what we do, and where we invest the resources generously provided to us by thousands of our committed supporters. We welcome investment from all who share our commitment to empowering states and communities, provided they understand that their donations will in no way dictate our message or mission. In this we view our donors not as patrons or customers, but as partners in the important work of restoring American self-governance.
STATEMENT OF NETWORK INDEPENDENCE
A strength of our community is that the members of State Policy Network are all independent entities with entirely separate legal and financial structures, staff, fundraising, and boards of directors. Each of these innovative partners was founded with a unique vision and designed to be highly relevant and responsive to the needs and concerns of the citizens of their respective states.
SPN neither dictates nor officially endorses the individual decisions of its members. Instead, it works to ensure robust and diverse advocacy for liberty across the entire, independent 50-state network. Reports of the network’s activities and successes here on SPN.org do not constitute formal authentication or coordination. They are presented to publicly share sound, reasonable methods to remove barriers to opportunity and choice for all Americans.
With our state partners, we have helped propel important policy wins, built strong leaders and organizations, incubated new solutions to longstanding challenges, and brought our movement together around a shared vision and commitment to improving lives in states and communities.
SPN’s vision is an American where all people can flourish because collaborative, entrepreneurial leaders have secured lasting social change, personal freedom, and economic opportunity at the state and local level. Our mission is to catalyze thriving, durable freedom movements in every state, anchored with high-performing, independent think tanks.
