Increasing interest in the works of the Papal Mission at the United Nations underlined the need to spread greater awareness of the teachings of the Holy Father on important international questions of ethics, development and human rights, in order to provoke discussion and formulate humanitarian action. Due to the need for expanded humanitarian and peacemaking activities that go beyond the strictly diplomatic parameters of the Holy See Mission to the United Nations, The Path to Peace Foundation was established in 1991, by Cardinal Renato R. Martino, then Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations. The Foundation, legally independent from but integrally united to the Holy See Mission, tax-exempt under Section 501c3 of the IRS Code, directs its activities primarily to the international stage of the United Nations. Its principal purpose is to support the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See at the United Nations and to spread the message of peace by which the Catholic Church, through the words and activities of the Pope and of the Holy See, strives to "guide our steps into the path of peace" (Lk 1:79). The mission of the Foundation is to disseminate information and documentation on statements and initiatives of the Holy Father, the Holy See and Catholic organizations directed toward building a world of justice, charity and peace, to host conferences, seminars and lectures to study the social teachings of the Church in action, to promote cultural initiatives touching on Christian heritage in art, music and the humanities, and to foster religious and humanitarian projects with a view to promoting fundamental human rights by calling attention to specific emergency needs that arise in different parts of the world. Funds raised have allowed the Path to Peace Foundation to sponsor at the United Nations 71 different conferences in the last three years, including on the scourge of human trafficking and all forms of modern slavery, the persecution and sufferings of Christians and other minorities in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, the impact of good parents on children and society, women and work, protection for migrants and refugees in vulnerable situations, the protection of indigenous peoples and lands, peace and reconciliation in Colombia, ideological colonization in Africa, the best practices for maternal healthcare in Africa, on protecting and valuing those with Down Syndrome, on the integral education of girls and women, on the link between development and human rights in the eradication of poverty, on the Right to Protect and the prevention of violence that can lead to atrocity crimes, the role of the Holy See at the United Nations, St. Teresa of Calcutta's enduring message of peace for the international community, the colorful history and present reality of the Pontifical Swiss Guard protecting the Pope, the human person in the art of Raphael, Pope Francis' summons to nonviolence as a style of politics for peace, overcoming barriers to women's economic empowerment and property rights due to HIV/AIDS in Africa, the distinctiveness of women's work and her promotion, the role of faith-based organizations in accompanying indigenous communities, the centenary of Fatima and the enduring relevance of its message of peace, Raphael's art and Christian humanism and more. Everything from paying for rooms, live and on-demand webcasts, UN security fees, to speaker travel and accommodations, is picked up by the generosity of people to the Path to Peace Foundation, and these conferences allow us to shine the light of Catholic Social Teaching on current issues far more than very short official interventions permit. Funds raised have also allowed us to underwrite the United Nations Prayer Service the Mission holds for the United Nations Community each September at the Church of the Holy Family, make many repairs and upgrades at our Mission headquarters, underwrite various aspects of our vibrant internship program, increase the permanent staff of the Mission, and give grants to humanitarian projects in developing countries. of the Holy Family, make many repairs and upgrades at our Mission headquarters, underwrite various aspects of our vibrant internship program, increase the permanent staff of the Mission, and give grants to humanitarian projects in developing countries. 1007402 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 0 false false false false false true true false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false NY X REV FATHER MARK KNESTOUT 2123707885 25 EAST 39TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10016 X Archbishop Gabriele Caccia President 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 H E FRA JOHN T DUNLAP Secretary 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Cardinal Renato Raffaele Marti Founder 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RevMSGR Hilary Franco TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Klink Trustee 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peter McGuire Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Susan Whelan TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rev Father Mark Knestout EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 406421 2476978 2883399 0 136840 136840 0 0 0 0 0 2089536 1727001 362535 362535 362535 230279 406421 230279 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER REVENUE- INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 89918 89918 89918 3472692 589293 X 346292 346292 0 15000 15000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 61209 61209 0 0 36506 36506 173110 173110 0 27397 24658 2739 0 0 168555 143271 25284 0 10894 10894 0 0 0 206297 175352 30945 0 INTERNSHIP PROGRAM EXPENSES 129719 129719 1174979 1007402 167577 0 X 180596 605816 36849 339500 0 1910729 14116 15227 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15000 30000 7256514 4558407 2763597 2698107 4264705 4199764 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7274863 9799143 33308 27563 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33308 27563 X 7171333 7370060 70222 2401520 7241555 9771580 7274863 9799143 2297713 232312 X false true X true false X 347417 570317 458998 327612 2883399 4587743 0 0 0 0 347417 570317 458998 327612 2883399 4587743 115000 155000 151994 86000 96500 604494 0 115000 155000 151994 86000 96500 604494 3983249 100424 89574 95977 126316 136840 549131 0 100424 89574 95977 126316 136840 549131 0 0 0 0 0 89918 89918 447841 659891 554975 453928 3110157 5226792 0.76208 0.56326 0.10506 0.19833 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 704460 704460 5620393 4041531 1578862 409182 383390 25792 561796 133486 388993 2698107 0 0 X 3668498 232312 232312 3436186 36506 36506 3472692 1138473 1138473 36506 36506 1174979 Form, Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Foundation qualifies as a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation follows the provisions of authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Foundation has evaluated the likelihood of its tax-exempt status being challenged as remote. Accordingly, the Foundation has not included any income tax provisions or any potential liabilities for taxes on unrelated business income, including interest and penalties, in the financial statements related to potential violations of its tax-exempt status. There are no income tax related interest or penalties reflected in these financial statements.
