FreedomWorks Foundation is the result of a merger in July 2004 between CSE FreedomWorks Foundation and Empower.org, the 501(c)(3) entities of Citizens for a Sound Economy and Empower America. Combining more than 30 years of operational experience, FreedomWorks Foundation seeks to identify, educate, and mobilize citizens who are passionate about showing up to support lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. FreedomWorks Foundation is led by two of the most influential political figures of our time: former Majority Leader Dick Armey, and C. Boyden Gray, who served as White House Counsel to President George H. W. Bush. Matt Kibbe is the president and CEO and brings over twenty years of leadership experience to the institution.
