FPCs also work to shape public opinion, organize political demonstrations, and cultivate future politicians.

An example is OutNebraska, a "statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization" that works against policy goals of Nebraska Family Alliance, an FPC.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has described FotF as a fringe and anti-LGBT organization that relies on misrepresenting scientific studies.

Family Policy Councils sometimes divide their operations into legal entities with differing tax status.

In total, this network of state organizations employs more than 350 people and receives more than $50 million in annual revenue as of 2024.
