Overview

Mission

Healing the Culture is dedicated to inspiring a deep, authentic, and lasting commitment to pro-life values. We engage audiences nationwide and internationally. Through innovative media -- including social platforms, videos, and animations -- we present thoughtful, philosophical education that empowers individuals to embrace and advocate for pro-life principles.

What it reported doing in 2025

Life Principles Academy (LPA) is an intensive training event for college students that equips them with logic and reason to evangelize their pro-choice peers. In 2025, we trained a new faculty member, conducted four 4.5-hour training courses on college and university campuses across the US, graduated 44 students (bringing our program alumni headcount to 942 since inception), and launched a digital LPA course on YouTube. We trained 12 high school teachers and 10 campus ministers through our LPA Express program, bringing the total teachers trained to 757 since 2020. We conducted three other live presentations in 2025 reaching 270 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
