Many Americans today feel divided, frustrated by incivility, economically threatened, and disappointed by failing schools. At This We Defend, we believe we can address these challenges by creating an ecosystem of innovative businesses focused on delivering education, objective information, good jobs, and real community development. We aim to restore families, communities, and our nation.
This We Defend is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building on American ideals: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. We believe these values are the foundation of a free and prosperous society. We seek to create an ecosystem of businesses supporting broad educational opportunities bolstered by fundraising, investment, and expertise to build and energize communities
Our mission is to restore and defend liberty in America through education support services that promote civil discourse, critical thinking, practical skills, and self-reliance among students, families, and communities. We strive to sustain and expand our educational impact through an ecosystem of businesses supported by fundraising, investment, and oversight, ensuring independence and integrity.
We envision a nation united by a common love of liberty, where differences and dignity are respected, constructive dialogue is commonplace, and happiness and potential are pursued freely. We aim for an educational system that empowers and enlightens rather than indoctrinates, preparing students, families, and communities to thrive in a complex world.
The Vallo Business Accelerator™ is our flagship initiative that serves as a practical solution to support small businesses and startups. We provide holistic, single-source support including startup mentorship, legal assistance, accounting, health benefits, training programs, sales and marketing support, and infrastructure. Our comprehensive approach helps entrepreneurs focus on their strengths, fostering healthy businesses and thriving communities.
Startups often fail due to insufficient market analysis, poor financial management, ineffective marketing, pricing errors, and operational struggles. These failures affect not just businesses but families and communities as well. We address these issues head-on by providing a supportive ecosystem where entrepreneurs can overcome these common barriers.
We use clear, objective measures (OKRs – Objectives and Key Results) and tactical metrics (KPIs – Key Performance Indicators) to ensure transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. This allows us, our donors, and our stakeholders to monitor progress and effectiveness clearly.
We proactively engage with business partners, nonprofits, community organizations, and donors. Partnerships and collaborations are structured to support mutual growth, community involvement, and aligned values.
Our financial model includes operational revenues, fundraising, and responsible deployment of funds. Donations support growth initiatives, reserves for collateral, and core educational programs.
Join us in building an America where liberty flourishes and communities thrive.
