Rockbridge Incorporates Firebrand Action to Influence Media
Rockbridge Network incorporated Firebrand Action in 2022 as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit to fund right-wing media without disclosure. The entity's stated mission is to "revolutionize and turbocharge Republican political media, strategy, and messaging" and operates as part of Rockbridge's eight-entity structure. Because 501(c)(4)s are not required to disclose donors, Firebrand functions as a dark-money conduit for media spending.
