What is American Life League?

American Life League is a non-profit educational organization committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from fertilization to death. Five families founded ALL on April 1, 1979. Today, it is the largest grass-roots, pro-life educational organization in the United States.

 

What does ALL do?

ALL has a staff of 50 employees who work in a variety of areas

  • Grassroots Activities
  • Public Policy
  • Youth Outreach
  • Communications
  • Development
  • Resources

 

What differentiates ALL from other pro-life, pro-family groups?

ALL is opposed to all abortion, contraception and other threats to the human person and the family. This total protection approach separates us from many of the other major groups. ALL will not support abortion-related legislation that contains exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother, fetal deformity or other such condition.

 

Does ALL have a religious affiliation?

While American Life League is not formally tied to any church, ALL is firmly established on moral and ethical principles based on the natural law (the moral law), the Word of God and the teaching of the Catholic Church.

 

Does ALL lobby on Capitol Hill?

ALL spends less than five percent of its annual budget on lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill, in keeping with the requirements for organizations that incorporate under the 501(c)3 non-profit tax status from the Internal Revenue Service. ALL strongly conveys the message to supporters and those potential pro-life Americans that the real answer must first come about at the community level, not in the Congress.

 

Does ALL endorse candidates?

ALL does not have a political action committee, and we do not endorse candidates. Our tax-deductible status does not permit political activity.

 

How is ALL funded?

ALL is funded by individual private donations and, on occasion, foundation grants designated for specific projects. ALL receives no government funding.

 

Are donations to ALL tax deductible?

Contributors receive the proper receipt as required by the Internal Revenue Service. American Life League is a 501(c)3 organization, which means that donations are tax deductible to the extent specified in the federal tax laws.
