Focused Virtue
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
Focused Virtue's mission is to investigate and expose to the public illegal and corrupt activities in businesses associated with the production or distribution of pornography. These illegal and corrupt activities that Focused Virtue will expose include producers and distributors' knowledge of human trafficking, their inability or unwillingness to track, remove, and report to authorities hosted illegal content, and their marketing towards minors. Focused Virtue seeks to inform the public of the dangers of internet pornography industries through revelatory investigations. The President and, as far as funding will allow, other contracted and employed journalists will conduct Focused Virtue's investigations across the country. About 80 per cent of the organization's time will be spent in the field planning and conducting these investigations and meeting with subjects of these investigations. Upon successful investigations, Focused Virtue will publish its exposes of its subjects on its web

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
