Formerly known as CitizenLink and Focus on the Family Action, FPA has built an alliance of 40 “pro-family” organizations in 38 states that it can mobilize to influence legislation and support “social conservative candidates.”
The Family Policy Alliance (FPA), a 501(c)(4), is the largest and most influential. FOF's website summarize's the organization's values stating "In short, Focus on the Family is a reflection of what we believe to be the recommendations of the Creator Himself, who ordained the family and gave it His blessing." The organization has three related legal entities, all of which share the same address as FOF’s national headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Please also send a one-page CV.Focus on the Family (FOF) is one of the largest right-wing Christian advocacy organizations in America, currently based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
