Family Research Council (FRC) is a Christian public policy ministry and nonprofit research and educational organization based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1983, it works to advance a family-centered philosophy of public life and promote faith, family, and freedom in policy and culture from a biblical worldview. FRC provides research and analysis on issues relevant to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government, and shares its perspectives with news media, academics, business leaders, and the public.

Its work covers life and human dignity, abortion, bioethics, religious liberty and freedom of conscience, marriage and family, sexuality, children, education, health care, and the courts. The organization also publishes reports, commentary, press releases, and other educational resources, and operates Washington Watch, a broadcast and podcast featuring discussion of public affairs. Through events, state groups, internships, subscriptions, and online resources, FRC engages audiences interested in its policy priorities. Its related outlets and initiatives include The Washington Stand, FRC Action, PrayVoteStand.org, and the Center for Biblical Worldview.
