1776 Project PAC Launches 1776 Project Foundation-the New NRA for Education

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- President Donald Trump plans to abolish the Department of Education, but this is merely the start of wresting control of our children's education away from the federal government and back to local school boards.

Our local schools are falling behind. The new 1776 Project Foundation is building the playbook to reverse the decades of decline. The 1776 Project Foundation will research education initiatives, develop policy, and more. Think: the NRA of conservative education.

"It's time for conservatives to lay down the infrastructure to hold local government accountable, eliminate indoctrination, and improve academic scores," says 1776 Project Foundation President Aiden Buzzetti.

The foundation is an off-shoot of the 1776 Project PAC. Since 2020, the 1776 Project PAC has led the conservative fight to win conservative school board seats and own the education issue, from ending remote learning to championing a return to classical education. Over 250 of their endorsed candidates won elections. They have a majority of small donors and are currently #22 on Win Red.
