The stated mission of Family Policy Alliance is "to advance biblical citizenship, equip and elect statesmen, promote policy and serve an effective alliance, all committed to a common vision". The organization opposes and advocates against same-sex marriage, transgender rights, legal abortion, sexual consent education, marijuana decriminalization, and the Equal Rights Amendment. FPA supports Reaganomics and traditional gender roles. It considers LGBT rights to be a dangerous "LGBT agenda."
As an organization with 501(c)(4) tax status, FPA faces fewer political lobbying restrictions than its affiliate Focus on the Family. FPA lobbying includes "rigorous training by experienced Christian legislative leaders" for politicians who align with the organization's conservative priorities. The organization maintains a 501(c)(3) called Family Policy Foundation or alternatively Family Policy Alliance Foundation.
It was founded in 2004 by James Dobson and operates from Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs.
