In 2016, Adams founded FLAG, registering it as a nonprofit with the mission to bring high-quality civics education to K-12 students across America. No line item in FLAG’s federal tax filing identifies a payment to a school, a teacher or an educational distributor. No other employee was paid more than $5,000 from 2016 to 2024, according to FLAG’s federal filings, obtained through ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer. In all filings from 2017 to 2024, FLAG answered no to both questions. Nine years of FLAG’s federal filings contain no transaction consistent with a $1,000,000 payment.
