Funded by / Ownership
GCO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. While it solicits donations on its website, it does not disclose the names of individual donors, thereby limiting transparency. According to InfluenceWatch, it is affiliated with the State Policy Network (SPN), a coalition of conservative think tanks funded by organizations such as DonorsTrust, the Walton Family Foundation, and the Bradley Foundation. SPN members have been linked to opposition to climate policy and national deregulatory campaigns.
Analysis / Bias
GCO is a policy and advocacy organization promoting solutions rooted in personal responsibility, workforce participation, and family structure. Content such as SNAP reform opportunity for increasing work and taxpayer savings frames public assistance programs as discouraging work and promotes reforms consistent with right-leaning economic policy (e.g., reducing “benefit cliffs,” emphasizing labor participation).
Similarly, its issue pages on family and education highlight themes such as school choice, family stability, and reducing government dependency, positions typically associated with center-right policy frameworks. While the organization cites research and data, analysis is often one-sided, focusing on policy outcomes that align with its ideological perspective rather than presenting competing viewpoints in depth.
