Organization: VITAE FOUNDATION
Mission: TO ENCOURAGE A CULTURE OF LIFE THROUGH RESEARCH-BASED MESSAGING AND MASS MEDIA.
Activities: THE VITAE FOUNDATION PRODUCES AND DELIVERS LIFE-AFFIRMING EDUCATIONAL MESSAGES DESIGNED TO MOTIVATE WOMEN FACING AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY TO CHOOSE LIFE RATHER THAN ABORTION FOR THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN. MESSAGES ARE BASED ON RESEARCH INTO THE EMOTIONAL DYNAMICS SURROUNDING WOMEN FACING AN ABORTION DECISION. VITAE MAINTAINS 54 CUSTOMIZED MARKETING PROJECTS FOR SPECIFIC CENTERS ACROSS THE U.S. SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY A CAMPAIGN'S EFFECTIVENESS IN SENDING WOMEN TO LOCAL PREGNANCY HELP CENTERS FOR INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE.
VITAE USES EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY EVENTS TO MOTIVATE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN HELPING VITAE ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION. DRAWING ON THE EXPERTISE OF WELL-KNOWN PRO-LIFE SPEAKERS AND TESTIMONIES OF WOMEN IN UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES, VITAE EVENTS SERVE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC BY INTRODUCING ATTENDEES TO VITAE'S MISSION AND INFORMING THOSE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT VITAE ABOUT ITS PROGRAMS AND SUCCESSES. THE PROGRAMS ENCOURAGE ATTENDEES TO SUPPORT VITAE WITH THEIR TIME, TALENT AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES, THUS HELPING THE ORGANIZATION ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION. IN THE MODERN MASS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM DOMINATED BY THE INTERNET, EFFECTIVE MESSAGES MUST BE RESEARCH BASED, PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED, AND CONNECT THE SPECIFIC MEDIUM WITH THE TARGET AUDIENCE. AS A 501(C)(3), VITAE RELIES ON DONATIONS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FUNDING FOR ITS WORK.
