The Foundation for Moral Law is a 501(c)(3) corporation, located in Montgomery, Alabama, operating as a non-profit organization with a mission to protect individual religious liberties and rights contemplated in the United States Constitution.
According to the Foundation's website, it participates in two main functions. First, it provides legal representation for people involved in situations concerning religious liberties, such as those who believe that creationism should be taught in public schools and those who believe that the U.S. military ban on homosexuality was constitutional. The Foundation also publishes amici curiae court briefs in advocating these rights.
A second pursuit of the organization is to educate lawyers and non-lawyers of what the Foundation perceive as a significant need to acknowledge God, in both law and government.
Pastor Phillip Ellen was the first President The Foundation for Moral Law in December 2002. Randy Stafford acted as Vice-President at that time, and Mel C. Glenn Sr., as Executive Director. In November 2003, the board chose Rich Hobson as president of the Foundation, and Ellen became vice-president. Later, Judge Roy Moore served as the President of the Foundation, and Hobson served as Executive Director. In January 2013 it was announced Moore's wife, Kayla Moore, would serve as President of the Foundation.
The organization says that it exists "to restore the knowledge of God in law and government and to acknowledge and defend the truth that man is endowed with rights, not by our fellow man, but by God!"
