Mission Statement

The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) was founded in 2011 and has experienced rapid growth, from $50,000 in seed funding in June 2011 to a team of 30 staff and more than 40 contractors with a budget of $10 million in 2018. Our success is determined by the number of policy reforms enacted and lives impacted as a result of our work. Since 2015, FGA has achieved 168 state policy reforms in 37 states, ultimately meaning that 6.4 million individuals will move off welfare. Millions more will have access to better jobs and bigger paychecks thanks to our efforts to remove government barriers to opportunity.
