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.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $7,709 spent. Ecclesial Support and Vestment Workshops: Tithe for Tradition assisted priests, seminarians, and those discerning their vocation in life through hospitality and practical help. ______________________________ In 2024 we helped establish a vestment workshop in Sri Lanka run by religious sisters who teach deaf artisans the craft of fine sewing. The project links donors with parishes needing cassocks and surplices, sustaining Catholic artistry while providing dignified work to those who serve the Church. We also collaborated with missionary communities on joint projects advancing the Traditional Latin Mass and the works of mercy.
- $4,543 spent. Lectures and Formation: Tithe for Tradition organized or supported more than a dozen lectures and seminars with audiences from 8 to 100. ____________________________________________________ Events at Harvard and Cornell brought together scholars, alumni, and benefactors seeking the restoration of Christendom. These programs are forming a network of volunteer fellows-students and young professionals who receive formation through our work and, in turn, contribute meaningful volunteer hours that sustain Tithe for Tradition's projects and outreach. Tithe for Tradition's provided significant programming and staffing support for Pro Civitate Dei. The Summer session in France gathered students and young professionals for daily Solemn Mass, the chanted Office, and rigorous discussion of theology, philosophy, and culture. A companion mission in Chile joined service in rural parishes with study and fellowship among Catholic leaders. Both sessions reflected the foundation's focus on uniting worship, learning, and charity.
- $1,847 spent. Pilgrimages and Formative Liturgies: In 2024 Tithe for Tradition helped clergy, seminarians, and students join pilgrimages and liturgical events renewing Christian life at its sources. ________________________ Our principal work-the annual Chartres Pilgrimage-brought 30 pilgrims to walk the ancient road to Our Lady's cathedral at Pentecost. We coordinated travel and leadership so those discerning priestly or religious vocations could take part. Other pilgrimages and devotional gatherings fostered lasting friendships among young Catholics and deepened devotion to the sacred liturgy. These efforts help ensure that the faith we received will endure for future generations.
