The Foundation for Moral Law is a socially conservative, Christian right legal advocacy group based in Montgomery, Alabama. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The Foundation was founded in 2002 by Republican politician Roy Moore, who was ousted as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama in 2003 for refusing to comply with a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the Alabama Judicial Building. In 2013, Moore was again elected to the Alabama Supreme Court, but was suspended from the Court in 2016, and resigned in 2017, after ordering Alabama probate judges to ignore federal court decisions on same-sex marriage.
The Foundation was founded in 2002 by Republican politician Roy Moore. Pastor Phillip Ellen was the first president of 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. Moore served as the President of the Foundation, and Hobson served as Executive Director. In 2013, Moore's wife, Kayla Moore, became president of the Foundation. The IRS granted the group tax-exempt status in 2005. As of August 2017, the Foundation had not filed Form 990s for 2015 or 2016.
From 2005 through 2013, Roy Moore and his family drew $1,030,875 from the Foundation for Moral Law. In 2016, Kayla Moore earned more than $10,000 as president of the foundation. In the 2017 Alabama special election for the U.S. Senate, these payments became the focus of television attack ads against Moore, a candidate for the Republican nomination.
