Mission

WE ENCOURAGE A CULTURE OF LIFE THROUGH RESEARCH BASED MESSAGING AND MASS MEDIA.

  • VITAE BUILDS A CULTURE OF LIFE THROUGH ITS COOPERATIVE EFFORTS WITH OTHER PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS AND STAFF INTERACTION WITH INDIVIDUALS, COMPANIES, AND INSTITUTIONS. COOPERATIVE EFFORTS INCLUDE SHARING RESEARCH FINDINGS WITH PRO-LIFE PEERS AND SUBSIDIZING DIGITAL OUTREACH AND PROGRAM MATERIALS FOR PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS. ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TAKE PLACE THROUGH NATIONAL TRAINING INITIATIVES AND ONLINE COLLECTION OF RESOURCES. VITAE'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ACTIVITIES REACH A BROAD SPECTRUM AS THEY TOUCH PREGNANCY CENTER STAFF; WOMEN AND COMMUNITIES SERVED BY THE CENTERS; AND THE PRO-LIFE PEER GROUPS IMPACTED BY VITAE'S RESEARCH. THESE EFFORTS HELP EXPAND THE PRO-LIFE KNOWLEDGE BASE OF A WORLDWIDE POPULATION.

    Expenses $2,051,394 · Grants $40,335

  • THE VITAE FOUNDATION CONDUCTS RESEARCH INTO THE EMOTIONAL DYNAMICS SURROUNDING WOMEN FACING AN ABORTION DECISION, THEN PRODUCES AND DELIVERS LIFE-AFFIRMING MESSAGES TO MOTIVATE THOSE WOMEN TO CHOOSE LIFE FOR THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN. WORKING WITH A SELECT GROUP OF 29 PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS WITH 33 LOCATIONS ACROSS THE U.S., VITAE USES ITS RESEARCH TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN THEIR CUSTOMIZED MARKETING PROJECTS. SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY A CAMPAIGN'S EFFECTIVENESS IN CONNECTING WOMEN WITH LOCAL PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS FOR INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, VITAE SHARES RESEARCH FINDINGS AND SUCCESSFUL MESSAGING STRATEGIES TO PRO-LIFE PEERS THROUGH ITS NATIONAL TRAINING INITIATIVE.

    Expenses $1,483,192

  • VITAE USES COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL EVENTS TO INTRODUCE ATTENDEES TO ITS MISSION; SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT ITS PROGRAMS AND SUCCESSES; AND MOTIVATE THEM TO GET INVOLVED. DRAWING ON THE EXPERTISE OF WELL-KNOWN PRO-LIFE SPEAKERS AND PERSONAL TESTIMONIES, THESE EVENTS ENCOURAGE SUPPORT THROUGH TIME, TALENT, AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES, AS WELL AS TO ADVOCATE FOR VITAE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. AS A 501(C)(3), VITAE RELIES ON DONATIONS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FUNDING FOR ITS WORK. IN MODERN COMMUNICATION, DOMINATED BY THE INTERNET, EFFECTIVE MESSAGES MUST BE RESEARCH BASED, PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED, AND CONNECT THE SPECIFIC MEDIUM WITH THE INTENDED AUDIENCE.

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.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

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.
