This address is a suite or unit (STE 100). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Tithe for Tradition promotes the Catholic Religion and the Traditional Latin Mass through pilgrimages, research, educational events, and other activities that support the preservation and growth of traditional Catholic practice.

  • Ecclesial Support and Vestment Workshops: Tithe for Tradition assisted priests, seminarians, and those discerning their vocation in life through hospitality and practical help. ______________________________ In 2024 we helped establish a vestment workshop in Sri Lanka run by religious sisters who teach deaf artisans the craft of fine sewing. The project links donors with parishes needing cassocks and surplices, sustaining Catholic artistry while providing dignified work to those who serve the Church. We also collaborated with missionary communities on joint projects advancing the Traditional Latin Mass and the works of mercy.

    Expenses $7,709

  • Lectures and Formation: Tithe for Tradition organized or supported more than a dozen lectures and seminars with audiences from 8 to 100. ____________________________________________________ Events at Harvard and Cornell brought together scholars, alumni, and benefactors seeking the restoration of Christendom. These programs are forming a network of volunteer fellows-students and young professionals who receive formation through our work and, in turn, contribute meaningful volunteer hours that sustain Tithe for Tradition's projects and outreach. Tithe for Tradition's provided significant programming and staffing support for Pro Civitate Dei. The Summer session in France gathered students and young professionals for daily Solemn Mass, the chanted Office, and rigorous discussion of theology, philosophy, and culture. A companion mission in Chile joined service in rural parishes with study and fellowship among Catholic leaders. Both sessions reflected the foundation's focus on uniting worship, learning, and charity.

    Expenses $4,543

  • Pilgrimages and Formative Liturgies: In 2024 Tithe for Tradition helped clergy, seminarians, and students join pilgrimages and liturgical events renewing Christian life at its sources. ________________________ Our principal work-the annual Chartres Pilgrimage-brought 30 pilgrims to walk the ancient road to Our Lady's cathedral at Pentecost. We coordinated travel and leadership so those discerning priestly or religious vocations could take part. Other pilgrimages and devotional gatherings fostered lasting friendships among young Catholics and deepened devotion to the sacred liturgy. These efforts help ensure that the faith we received will endure for future generations.

    Expenses $1,847

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
