Program areas at Foundation for Government Accountability

Welfare and unemployment reform: a project to identify and promote policies that successfully move individuals from dependency to full-time work and allow them to quickly escape poverty or job loss and to reduce fraud in welfare and unemployment programs to protect resources for the truly needy.
Protecting fundamental rights in schools and investments a project to conduct research on the influence of political ideology in Government, schools, and corporate boardrooms, to educate state and federal lawmakers on the findings, and to promote reforms that protect the fundamental rights of parents, retirees, and workers.
Restore voter confidence in elections: secure and fair elections are necessary for preserving self-governance and the american way of life, but the public's trust in elections has eroded in recent years. Fga created a menu of reforms to restore public trust in elections and educated state leaders on how to implement the reforms in their states, which led to 143 reforms being implemented in more than a dozen states.
