The SFOI Legal Defense Fund had three primary objectives:

• First, to directly and specifically help SFOI evangelists as they work around major sporting events, concerts and festivals.
• Second, to assist other evangelists likewise working in the public square. 
• Third, contribute to the overall Free Speech work in the US.
