The Libertas Network is excited to announce a new addition to our growing team! Chad Goote has been selected as our Vice President of Partnerships, overseeing fundraising efforts for the Network’s policy and educational initiatives.
Prior to joining Libertas, Chad ran his own consulting firm supporting various organizations and candidates adjacent to the freedom movement. He previously served as the Chief Development Officer at Atlas Network, where revenue increased from 15 million to 28 million dollars during his time with the organization.
“Chad is a highly respected and well-connected individual, trusted by donors nationwide,” said Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Network. “We’re thrilled to have him join our team, where his influence will help connect our innovative work with new partners committed to changing hearts, minds, and laws to create a freer future. As a father of two, Chad understands the urgent need to bring our ideas to the rising generation and how crucial this approach is for advancing liberty today. We’re excited to have his expertise driving our mission forward, positively impacting millions of lives.”
Before Atlas Network, Chad was Vice President of Advancement at the Foundation for Government Accountability, and under his leadership, the financial strength of the organization grew from $700,000 to 12 million dollars in under six years.
Chad first started his career in Washington, DC in public affairs, where he worked in strategy development, grassroots management, coalition building, and strategic communications for Fortune 500 corporations and trade organizations. He spent years working on behalf of children and families as an advocate for school choice and used his expertise to elect legislators who prioritized educational innovation and competition. One of those visionary legislators was Michigan Representative Justin Amash, whose successful congressional campaign Chad managed in 2010.
