Cleta Mitchell's Compass and Election Integrity Orbit

One operative at the controlling end of CPI's three Compass vendor entities, the Election Integrity Network, the Valid Vote / EagleAI counsel relationship, and the Public Interest Legal Foundation. The network is documented in the entity filings of every node.

Cleta Mitchell is the Senior Legal Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute and the founder and Chair of the Election Integrity Network, a CPI-affiliated initiative. She is listed in formation paperwork as Officer / co-founder of Compass Professional Inc. (2021), Managing Member / beneficial owner of Compass Legal Group LLC (2021), and Principal / Manager of Compass Property Management LLC (2022). All three Compass entities share CPI's operating address. Documented.net reporting from March 2024 establishes that Compass Legal represents Valid Vote, the nonprofit that manages the EagleAI NETwork voter-roll-challenge software. Mitchell is also a Bradley Foundation board member, a co-founder of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, and a host of the Who's Counting? podcast at whoscounting.us.

The operative as hub

Cleta Mitchell is the Senior Legal Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute and the founder and chair of the Election Integrity Network. Both roles are confirmed on CPI's own staff page and in InfluenceWatch's biography of her. EIN is one of the affiliated initiatives CPI lists in its own materials, alongside America First Legal (Stephen Miller), the Center for Renewing America (Russell Vought), the State Freedom Caucus Network, and several others.

The three Compass entities

Mitchell is the named controlling figure in formation paperwork for three Delaware companies, all operating from CPI's address at 300 Independence Avenue SE. Compass Professional Inc. (2021): Mitchell is Officer and co-founder. Compass Legal Group LLC (2021): Mitchell is Managing Member and beneficial owner, working alongside attorney William Klimon. Compass Property Management LLC (2022): Mitchell is Principal and Manager. All three companies appear as paid vendors in CPI's 2022 and 2023 IRS Form 990 filings, with combined payments exceeding $2.4 million in a single year per POLITICO Influence reporting from November 2024.

The Valid Vote and EagleAI link

Documented.net reported in March 2024 that Compass Legal Group is counsel to Valid Vote, the nonprofit that manages the EagleAI NETwork, a voter-roll-challenge software tool that operationalises mass challenges against names on voter rolls. The legal-services relationship sits inside the same controlling-figure orbit as the Compass entities themselves: Mitchell is both the controlling officer at the law firm and the head of the political initiative (EIN) that has championed voter-roll-challenge programs.

Adjacent affiliations

Beyond CPI and the Compass cluster, Mitchell sits on the Bradley Foundation board, is a co-founder of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, has documented ties to the Council for National Policy, and hosts the Who's Counting? podcast at whoscounting.us. She was a member of Trump's 2020 election challenge team. The 2021 founding wave of the Compass entities is concurrent with her CPI appointment, with the formation of the Election Integrity Network, and with her departure from the law firm Foley & Lardner.

What remains to source

The diagram and prose above are conservative readings of the documents in the research vault. Items that would strengthen the investigation include: the specific filings establishing Mitchell as the controlling figure of the three Compass entities (Delaware corporate registration documents); the EIN's specific 501(c) registration (it operates inside CPI's 501(c)(3) rather than as a separate filer); and the financial flows between EIN, Valid Vote, EagleAI, and any donor or vendor entities. Those items are listed in the source documents but not all are linked to specific filings yet.

FEC Schedule B: Johnson Leadership Fund (C00771246) to Compass Professional Inc., purpose "CAGING"
fec.gov Primary
25 itemized disbursements totaling $286,696.79, 2024-02-14 to 2026-03-22, purpose field literally "CAGING" on every line. Committee treasurer of record: Lisa Lisker. Compass Professional Inc. is the same Delaware entity Mitchell is listed as Officer / co-founder of in its 2021 formation paperwork. Note: FEC "caging" purpose codes conventionally describe donor-mail response processing, a standard PAC back-office service; this record does not by itself establish the payments relate to voter-roll list challenges rather than routine contribution-mail handling.

13 itemized disbursements totaling $24,698.73, 2024-09-13 to 2026-04-02. Vendor is registered under the name "Compass Caging LLC", distinct from but sharing the Compass branding of the other Mitchell-linked Compass entities. Committee treasurer of record: Paul Kilgore. Same caveat as above on the meaning of "caging" in FEC purpose codes.

Cleta Mitchell: A sourced investigative biography

Cleta B. Deatherage Mitchell (born September 16, 1950, Oklahoma City) is a conservative attorney and election activist whose career arc — from feminist Democratic legislator to MAGA legal strategist — represents one of American politics' most dramatic ideological transformations. Every claim below is sourced from credible, named publications; items with evidentiary gaps are flagged.

From ERA champion to conservative power broker

Mitchell was born Cleta Deatherage in Oklahoma City and attended Classen High School. She earned both a B.A. (1973, high honors) and J.D. (1975) from the University of Oklahoma. As a student, she co-founded the Oklahoma Women's Political Caucus in 1971 and campaigned for the Equal Rights Amendment and legal recognition of homemakers' contributions to marital estates. She considered U.S. Senator Margaret Chase Smith her political role model.

Elected in 1976 as a Democrat to the Oklahoma House of Representatives from District 44 (Norman), Mitchell served four two-year terms until 1984. During her second term, she became the first woman in the United States to chair a state house appropriations and budget committee — a milestone confirmed by the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, RNLA, the Washington Post (Jan. 4, 2021), and the Bradley Foundation's own biography of Mitchell.

Her legislative record was distinctly progressive:

She was the architect of Oklahoma's Open Meetings Act, requiring public bodies to conduct business openly (BatesLine, Oct. 7, 2011, citing OSU oral history transcript).
She authored a universal preschool proposal, making Oklahoma one of the first states to adopt one. In her own words from an Oklahoma State University oral history: "I insisted that it couldn't be means-based. It had to be universal… It wasn't just some other people who were poor kids" (Washington Post, Jan. 4, 2021).
She championed the Equal Rights Amendment in Oklahoma. Former Oklahoma legislator Cal Hobson recalled: "She was very intense and determined to pass the Equal Rights amendment. I would say that was her number one priority" (The Guardian, July 2, 2024).
She ended unrecorded votes in the legislature, computerized voter records, and created "displaced homemaker" training programs (BatesLine, Oct. 7, 2011, summarizing OSU oral history).

Mitchell was named one of ten outstanding young women in America by Redbook magazine in 1979, a fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School Institute of Politics in 1981, and one of the most promising Democratic women by Time in 1984 (Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History; Wikipedia).

Her first husband, Duane Draper, and AIDS

Mitchell married Duane Draper, a fellow Oklahoman from Norman, in 1973. In 1980, Draper took a teaching fellowship at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and moved to Massachusetts. The couple divorced in July 1982 on grounds of "incompatibility."

Draper later came out as a gay man. In 1988, he became the director of AIDS programming at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. He died of AIDS on February 11, 1991, at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, at age 43. This is confirmed by a contemporaneous obituary in the Orlando Sentinel (Feb. 14, 1991), which states: "Draper, the director of AIDS programs for the state Department of Public Health, died Monday of AIDS in Boston. He was 43. He died at his home in Brookline. In 1990, Draper visited first lady Barbara Bush at the White House and received a Victory Award at the Kennedy Center. His story was featured last year on NBC's Today show."

Multiple additional sources corroborate this: Wikipedia (citing The Atlantic, The Oklahoman, and other primary sources); Above the Law (David Lat, April 2013); NRA On the Record database; and The Atlantic's profile by Jonathan Krohn (April 4, 2013). Krohn's Atlantic profile noted Draper's sexuality and death in the context of Mitchell's subsequent anti-gay activism. When Krohn emailed Mitchell about Draper, she reportedly responded: "I think I'm finished talking about this with you — it is a hit piece as I suspected from the start" (The Atlantic, April 4, 2013; Oklahoma Gazette summary).

Important clarification: Draper was Mitchell's ex-husband at the time of his death. They had been divorced for nearly nine years when he died in 1991.

Dale Mitchell's bank fraud conviction and its ideological aftermath

In 1984, Mitchell married Dale E. Mitchell, the son of 1940s–50s All-Star Cleveland Indians outfielder (Loren) Dale Mitchell. Dale Mitchell served as CEO and Chairman of Citizens National Bank and Trust Co. in Oklahoma City. They have one daughter. After leaving the legislature, Cleta Mitchell became vice president at Citizens National Bank (The Guardian, July 2, 2024).

The criminal case. In 1986, the FBI began investigating Dale Mitchell for banking malpractice. Citizens National Bank was declared insolvent that same year. In 1988, Mitchell agreed to permanent removal from the banking industry at the request of the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency. He was convicted in approximately late 1991 or early 1992 on five felony counts: conspiracy to defraud, willful misapplication of bank funds (18 U.S.C. § 656), and making false statements to banks (18 U.S.C. § 1014). The specific conduct included forcing a borrower to purchase stock in his bank holding company as a condition of a loan, misapplying monies of Citizens National Bank, and pledging the same $1.387 million promissory note as collateral to multiple banks without disclosure. The full appellate record is available at United States v. Dale E. Mitchell, 15 F.3d 953 (10th Cir. 1994).

Sentencing. Dale Mitchell received a suspended sentence of five years (probation, no prison time) and was ordered to perform community service. The trial judge was U.S. District Judge Lee R. West (W.D. Oklahoma). Multiple sources note the judge "suggested that Dale had lucked out by avoiding prison time" (Salon, Feb. 23, 2021; Raw Story, July 2, 2024).

Restitution. The district court originally ordered $3,039,740 in restitution. However, the 10th Circuit vacated the restitution order and remanded for further proceedings, noting that Mitchell's pre-sentence investigation report showed him as unemployed with a negative net worth of $4,148,346. The government conceded that $370,852.22 related to a victim not connected to any conviction count, plus $101,000 in attorney fees, needed to be eliminated. The final post-remand restitution amount is not confirmed in available sources. ⚠️ Flag: Salon (2021) cites $1.3 million; most other sources cite approximately $3 million — likely the pre-appeal figure. One conviction (Count 6) was reversed on appeal, leaving four affirmed convictions.

Mitchell's explicit ideological connection. Cleta Mitchell has directly and publicly attributed her political transformation, at least in part, to her husband's prosecution. She is quoted as saying the conviction convinced her that "overreaching government regulation is one of the great scandals of our times." This quote appears in the Washington Post (Kranish and Hamburger, Jan. 4, 2021), Salon (Sollenberger, Feb. 23, 2021), SourceWatch, and is attributed originally to Jane Mayer's 1996 New Yorker profile. The Washington Post reported: "In 1992, Dale Mitchell was convicted of bank fraud, an experience that Cleta Mitchell later said was the result of 'overreaching government regulation.' She became increasingly disenchanted with the social liberal policies she had supported." The Guardian's 2024 profile further reported that "people who had known her in college and in the legislature say that her husband's politics, and the wealth they earned as bankers, had an influence on her politics, pushing her to the right."

The political transformation: Democrat to Republican, 1984–1996

Mitchell's ideological shift was gradual, spanning roughly a decade. Multiple factors contributed, with varying weight depending on the source:

1986: Failed lieutenant governor campaign. Mitchell ran as a Democrat for Oklahoma lieutenant governor but lost the primary to Robert S. Kerr III. Former Oklahoma Governor David Walters said this loss "precipitated a real turn on her part" (The Guardian, July 2, 2024; Wikipedia).

1986–1991: Banking crisis and FBI investigation. The FBI investigation of Dale Mitchell began in 1986. Citizens National Bank was declared insolvent that year. This period coincided with Mitchell's drift away from the Democratic Party.

1991: Moved to Washington, D.C. Mitchell became executive director of the Term Limits Legal Institute — a predominantly conservative cause. She was co-counsel in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton (1995) before the Supreme Court. The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History states: "After leaving politics, Mitchell decided that politicians are essentially out of touch with the people they represent. Turning her back on her past, she began to work for the movement to limit the number of terms in office."

1992: Husband convicted. The conviction cemented her anti-government views.

1996: Registered Republican. Mitchell formally switched her party affiliation, first to independent, then to Republican (Wikipedia's "List of party switchers"; Urban Milwaukee, Jan. 4, 2021; CNN, Oct. 13, 2021).

Former colleagues' counter-narrative. Multiple former colleagues described the transition as career-driven rather than principled. The Guardian (July 2, 2024) reported: "Former colleagues and classmates described a gifted, ambitious, but self-interested attorney willing to attach herself to whatever cause might propel her career." Robert S. Kerr III told The Guardian: "Cleta has always been, in my opinion, my experience, first foremost and always for whatever is best for what she perceived to be best for herself." Joe Lunn, a University of Oklahoma classmate, described her as "an opportunist." At some point in the 1990s, Mitchell returned to the University of Oklahoma and told former ERA supporters she was glad the amendment had failed. Cal Hobson recalled: "She just gleefully told all these ladies that had supported her and the Equal Rights amendment how happy she was that it had failed and that she was wrong back then" (The Guardian, July 2, 2024).

Board positions and organizational affiliations

The following roles are confirmed with sources:

Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation — Board member and currently Secretary. She has served since at least 2013 (Urban Milwaukee, June 7, 2022). Confirmed by the Bradley Foundation's own website (bradleyfdn.org/our-people/cleta-mitchell), the Federalist Society, and IRS filings cited by SourceWatch. She remained on the board after the January 6 controversy.

American Conservative Union (ACU) — Board member since approximately May 2005 (C-SPAN database). Also served as Chairman of the ACU Foundation (the 501(c)(3) arm), per the Federalist Society biography. She played a central role in banning the gay Republican group GOProud from CPAC in 2011 (The Atlantic, April 4, 2013; LGBTQ Nation, Jan. 2021). GOProud co-founder Chris Barron publicly called her "just a nasty bigot" (LGBTQ Nation).

Institute for Free Speech (formerly Center for Competitive Politics) — Board member. Confirmed by SourceWatch ("as of August 2017") and GuideStar (Form 990, charity #20-3676886), which listed her with her Foley & Lardner title.

Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) — Board Chair from approximately 2020 (C-SPAN database). Confirmed by SourceWatch, Votebeat (Nov. 2021), and Issue One. ⚠️ Flag: EXPOSEDbyCMD (March 2026) refers to her as "longtime board chair through 2022," suggesting she may no longer hold the chairmanship, but other sources still list her as chairman based on the most recent IRS filings.

National Rifle Association (NRA) — Mitchell served as both an NRA board member (now former, per NRA On the Record database) and as outside counsel — not General Counsel. ⚠️ Correction: Her role was outside counsel, not general counsel. Her own Election Integrity Network biography states: "Cleta has served as outside counsel to the NRCC, NRSC, NRA, and numerous Republican members of Congress." Her most prominent NRA legal work was serving as co-counsel in McConnell v. FEC, the Supreme Court challenge to the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). The ABA Journal (Jan. 5, 2021) confirmed this. CNBC (June 2019) described her as "a longtime lawyer for the NRA."

Foley & Lardner LLP — Partner in the Washington, D.C., office from 2001 to January 5, 2021. She resigned after the Washington Post published audio of her participation in the Trump-Raffensperger phone call (Jan. 2, 2021). Foley & Lardner stated: "Cleta Mitchell has informed firm management of her decision to resign from Foley & Lardner effective immediately." Mitchell blamed "a massive pressure campaign mounted by leftist groups via social media" (NPR, Jan. 6, 2021; ABA Journal, Jan. 5, 2021).

Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) — Senior Legal Fellow and Secretary, from 2021 to present. CPI was founded by former Sen. Jim DeMint; former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is also a senior member. CPI received funding from Trump's Save America PAC (multiple sources).

Election Integrity Network (EIN) — Founder and Chair, launched 2021 under CPI. In 2023, EIN moved to be administered by the Virginia Institute for Public Policy. The New York Times obtained over 400 hours of recordings from EIN's weekly video calls, finding Mitchell's network had "done more than any other group to take Mr. Trump's falsehoods about corruption in the democratic system and turn them into action" (NYT, Berzon et al., Oct. 2024).

Other confirmed affiliations: Council for National Policy, Board of Governors (SourceWatch, as of Sept. 2020); Republican National Lawyers Association, former president (RNLA bio); International Foundation for Electoral Systems, board member (Persagen); U.S. Election Assistance Commission, Board of Advisors (Nov. 2021–Nov. 2023); American Law Institute, elected member (2016, per Bradley Foundation bio); trustee of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt's legal defense fund (Wikipedia); National Organization for Marriage, attorney (2011); and officer of Steve Bannon's Citizens of the American Republic nonprofit (CNBC, June 2019).

Key profiles and long-form journalism

The following major investigative profiles cover Mitchell's full biography:

Jane Mayer, "The Outsider," The New Yorker (Oct. 21 & 28, 1996). The earliest major national profile. Source of the "overreaching government regulation" quote. Covers her political transformation, husband's conviction, and party switch. Behind the New Yorker paywall; referenced in the Oklahoma Historical Society bibliography and Salon (2021).

Jane Mayer, "The Big Money Behind the Big Lie," The New Yorker (Aug. 9, 2021). Major investigative piece on dark money funding election denial. Mitchell is a central figure. Details her Bradley Foundation role and election integrity activities. Won the Sidney Award from the Hillman Foundation.

Jonathan Krohn, "Meet Cleta Mitchell, the Conservative Movement's Anti-Gay Eminence Grise," The Atlantic (April 4, 2013). The most detailed profile of her personal transformation and first marriage. Covers GOProud ban, Duane Draper's sexuality and death, and Mitchell's refusal to discuss the topic.

Michael Kranish and Tom Hamburger, "Cleta Mitchell, a key figure in president's phone call, was an early backer of Trump's voter fraud claims," Washington Post (Jan. 4, 2021). Breaking profile after the Raffensperger call. Extensive biographical details, Grover Norquist quotes, and Dale Mitchell conviction narrative.

Roger Sollenberger, "One phone call with Donald Trump destroyed this Republican lawyer's career," Salon (Feb. 23, 2021). Detailed investigative profile covering her full arc from Oklahoma to Trump's Georgia call.

Peter Stone, The Guardian (July 2, 2024). Extended profile with original interviews from former colleagues including Cal Hobson, Robert S. Kerr III, Joe Lunn, and David Walters. Published as an interactive feature. Covers the "opportunism" counter-narrative in depth.

Alexandra Berzon, Nick Corasaniti, et al., "Inside the Movement Behind Trump's Election Lies," New York Times (Oct. 2024). Based on 400+ hours of EIN meeting recordings. Focuses on Mitchell's post-2020 organizing infrastructure.

Christine Pappas, "Mitchell, Cleta Deatherage," Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture (published Jan. 15, 2010; updated Sept. 27, 2022). Authoritative encyclopedic entry from the Oklahoma Historical Society.

Additional profiles: Above the Law (David Lat, April 2013); Urban Milwaukee (Bruce Murphy, Jan. 4, 2021 and July 27, 2022); The Intercept (Andrew Donohue, Sept. 13, 2023, on her escape from Georgia indictment); The New Republic (Peter Stone, 2022); NPR/Fresh Air (Terry Gross interview with Jane Mayer, Aug. 5, 2021); Law & Crime (Jan. 2021). A former NRA official was quoted in The New Republic: "You tell Cleta where you want to end up, and she will come up with a way to get you there, whether it's legal or not."

Conclusion: What remains uncertain

Three factual points carry genuine ambiguity and should be flagged in any published account. First, the final restitution figure in the Dale Mitchell case: the 10th Circuit vacated the original $3,039,740 order and remanded for reconsideration; whether the post-remand amount was closer to $1.3 million (Salon's figure) or remained near $3 million is unresolvable from available sources. Second, the precise timeline of Mitchell's independent registration — whether she registered as independent before or simultaneously with her 1996 Republican registration is reported inconsistently. Third, her current status on several boards (PILF chairmanship, ACU board, Institute for Free Speech) may have changed since the most recent IRS filings available. Finally, her role with the NRA was as outside counsel, not General Counsel — a distinction worth noting precisely in any published piece. The primary source for Mitchell's own voice on many biographical matters is her Oklahoma State University oral history interview (Women of the Oklahoma Legislature project), which has been quoted extensively in secondary sources but was not directly accessible online during this research.

Mitchell Financial Network - Red Flags (Analysis)

Issue-by-issue red flags pulled from the Mitchell-aligned financial network.

Mitchell Financial Network — Red Flags Investigation

Classification: Active Investigation Date Initiated: 2026-02-16 Primary Target Entities: [[1792 Exchange]], [[Conservative Partnership Institute]], [[State Freedom Caucus Network]], [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] Key Individual: [[Cleta Mitchell]]

Executive Summary

Analysis of 1792 Exchange's 2023 Form 990 (EIN 27-3707886), State Freedom Caucus Network filings, vault intelligence, and ProPublica financial data reveals a network of interlocking conservative organizations with six significant financial anomalies. Cleta Mitchell sits at the nexus — simultaneously serving as Secretary of 1792 Exchange, Senior Legal Fellow at [[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]], Bradley Foundation Board Member, and founder of the [[Election Integrity Network]].

Key Finding: Multiple structural red flags suggest this network may function as a coordinated dark money pipeline, with anonymous donors funding entities that share leadership, addresses, and operational infrastructure while maintaining minimal public transparency.

Red Flag #1: Explosive, Unexplained Revenue Growth

Year	Revenue	YoY Growth
2021	$225,296	—
2022	$2,321,653	+930%
2023	$5,818,826	+150%

26x revenue growth in 2 years — from a small advocacy outfit to a $5.8M operation. This growth pattern is consistent with a coordinated funding injection rather than organic donor development.

Source: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, EIN 83-2470389 filings.

Red Flag #2: Extreme Donor Concentration & Anonymity

1792 Exchange's $5.8M in 2023 revenue came from only 6 donors, all anonymous:

Donor	Contribution	% of Total
Donor A	$1,750,000	30.1%
Donor B	$1,300,000	22.3%
Donor C	$1,193,576	20.5%
Donor D	$800,000	13.7%
Donor E	$350,000	6.0%
Donor F	$250,000	4.3%
Total (6 donors)	$5,643,576	97.0%

Schedule O of the 990 confirms: "No documents are available to the public."

Source: 1792 Exchange 2023 Form 990, Schedule B.

Red Flag #3: Suspicious Compensation Practices

Officer Compensation (2023)

Officer	Title	Base Comp	Other Comp	Total
[[Katharine Sullivan]]	General Counsel & SVP	$270,128	$19,764	$289,892
[[Paul Fitzpatrick]]	President	$270,128	$16,308	$286,436
[[Erica Moshtahedian]]	Vice President	$150,000	$16,308	$166,308
Total				$742,636

Schedule J Disclosure (ALL answered "Yes")

Item	Response	Significance
4a: Severance/change-of-control payments	Yes	Golden parachute provisions at a 501(c)(3)
4b: Supplemental nonqualified retirement	Yes	Deferred comp arrangements — unusual for nonprofits
4c: Equity-based compensation	Yes	Equity comp at a tax-exempt org — very unusual
5a: Compensation contingent on revenue	Yes	Officers paid more if org raises more
5b: Compensation contingent on net earnings	Yes	Profit-sharing at a nonprofit — extreme red flag
6a: Non-fixed payments to non-officers	Yes	Variable pay throughout org
6b: Bonus/incentive comp to non-officers	Yes	Performance bonuses across the organization

Revenue-contingent and earnings-contingent compensation (5a, 5b) at a 501(c)(3) is a major IRS compliance concern. This structure incentivizes officers to maximize revenue rather than fulfill charitable mission.

Source: 1792 Exchange 2023 Form 990, Schedule J.

Red Flag #4: "Care-of" Address & Phantom Office

1792 Exchange is filed "care-of Cleta Mitchell" at an Ohio address, despite:

Reporting 14 employees (W-2s)
Paying $742K+ in executive compensation
Operating a $5.8M budget

An organization of this size operating out of someone else's care-of address suggests either: shared infrastructure with another entity, minimal actual operations, or deliberate address obfuscation.

Source: 1792 Exchange 2023 Form 990, Part I.

Red Flag #5: Negligible Grantmaking Despite Charitable Status

Despite $5.8M in revenue, 1792 Exchange made exactly one grant in 2023:

Recipient	EIN	Amount	Purpose
[[United Charitable]]	20-4286082	$7,190	Educational

$7,190 in grants on $5.8M in revenue = 0.12% grant rate.

The remaining funds were allocated:

~$1.2M → Compensation & benefits
~$4.9M → "Program expenses" (vague categories)
~$330K → Operating deficit

Investigation needed: Where did $4.9M in "program expenses" go? The 990 does not break this down sufficiently. [[United Charitable]] requires investigation as a potential pass-through.

Source: 1792 Exchange 2023 Form 990, Schedule I.

Red Flag #6: SFOF ↔ [[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] Hidden Financial Relationship

The State Freedom Caucus Network 2023 Form 990 reveals:

"Due from [[Conservative Partnership Institute]], Inc. — $244,944"

This balance sheet entry shows [[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] owes SFOF $244,944 — indicating either:

A fiscal sponsorship arrangement ([[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] hosting SFOF operations)
An inter-organizational loan
Shared vendor payments flowing through [[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]]

Ed Corrigan ([[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] President & CEO) signed the anti-ESG letter organized by SFOF alongside [[Paul Fitzpatrick]] of 1792 Exchange.

Source: State Freedom Caucus Network 2023 Form 990, Schedule D/Balance Sheet.

Red Flag #7: CPI Revenue Explosion Post-January 6

CPI EIN: 82-1470217 — Also filed "care-of Cleta Mitchell" at 300 Independence Ave SE, Washington DC.

[[Conservative Partnership Institute|CPI]] Revenue Trajectory (ProPublica)

Conspiracy to defraud
Misapplying bank funds
Making false statements to banks
