Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Bishopaccountability.org documents the abuse crisis in the roman catholic church. It is a unique information resource for catholics, survivors, church officials, law enforcement, scholars and journalists. It gathers and posts church documents, pertinent court filings, and reports by law enforcement, church officials and news organizations. In 2024, we significantly expanded our database of publicly accused clergy, added thousands of articles to our news archive, and fulfilled hundreds of requests for data and documents from survivors, ordinary catholics, journalists, prosecutors, and others. By the end of 2024, our online archive contained more than 550,000 pages of documents, news articles, legal reports, and church studies. More than one million pages are preserved in our hardcopy library.”
