We strive to do this through the careful selection and funding of high quality, morality-based film and media projects, facilitating the development of culturally and doctrinally relevant content from thought leading Catholic speakers, leveraging best-practice, intelligent use of mass media placement and promotional media distribution, and making resources and tools designed to inspire and empower Catholics to live out their Catholic Faith to the fullest widely accessible.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
