American Commitment is a right‑of‑center advocacy organization founded in 2011–2012 that says its mission is to restore and protect free markets, economic growth, constitutionally limited government, property rights, and individual freedom through policy analysis, public advocacy, advertising and grassroots mobilization.
Typically pursues free‑market economic policies (lower taxes, reduced spending), deregulation, limits on government authority, property‑rights protections, and conservative positions on health‑care and regulatory policy; engages in public campaigns, litigation support and grassroots mobilization on these issues.
Primarily funded by grants from foundations and other nonprofit grantmakers and conservative donors; historically has received significant grants from Koch‑network affiliated nonprofits and similar conservative grantmakers; as a 501(c)(4) it is not required to publicly disclose all individual donors.
