Activities or mission (Part I)

NCLP is a legal defense organization which focuses on the protection and promotion of religious freedom, the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, parental rights, and other civil liberties.

  • Leveraged significant settlement in religious accommodation vaccine booster mandate case on the eve of trial The NCLP has successfully represented many faithful pandemic front line healthcare heroes, including registered nurse Keitha Giannella, who used to work at Sharp Grossmont Hospital before she was indefinitely suspended because of her sincerely held religious objections to the vaccine boosters. During the Giannella v. Sharp Healthcare lawsuit, Sharp fought tooth and nail to hide and conceal relevant information and avoid turning over documents during discovery, in what turned into an epic to year running legal battle. However, Sharp ultimately waived the white flag and settled, shortly after a failed judicial settlement conference, on the eve of trial in August of 2024. Earlier in the summer of 2024, the NCLP also settled Stahovich v. Sharp Healthcare for 175,000.

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.

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.

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.
