About FIC FIC is composed of three distinct organizations. FIC Action is an 501 ( c ) ( 4 ) social welfare organization. Political lobbying in defense of marriage and the family is conducted by FIC Action. Given that we have increasingly seen common-sense family values attacked and undermined in our state government, we have increasingly focused on being a strong voice for the family at our capitol. Given that focus, we created a 501 ( c ) ( 4 ) organization in 2004 to increasingly concentrate on lobbying our legislators. This website is maintained by FIC Action. Because of our ability to use your contributions to lobby our legislature, donations to FIC Action are NOT tax-deductible. Family Institute of Connecticut Action Committee is a registered state political action committee. FIC Action Committee was also created in 2004 to help support pro-family candidates to our state government. This organization is governed by state campaign finance laws, and contribution are limited to $1000.00 per individual per calendar year. Contributions are NOT tax-deductible and we can not accept corporate or business contributions. Family Institute of Connecticut is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit educational organization founded in 1989. Family Institute of Connecticut focuses on marriage strengthening projects, educational efforts, and research. Contributions to Family Institute of Connecticut are tax-deductible. These three organizations allow us to fulfill our mission to encourage and strengthen the family as the foundation of society and to promote sound ethical and moral values in our culture and government. Never before have the family and family life been in such jeopardy and disarray. This crisis is most evident in America's cities Connecticut's among them where poverty, racial discord and broken families are too often the norm. Our communities, schools and prisons, as well as the moral and ethical fabric of our business community, are all affected by this disturbing trend. In spite of recent improvements in some of the trends that we monitor, in the last three decades:
