About the Foundation

Who We Are

We are a diverse community of former Mormons or questioning Mormons. Many of us have been church leaders, teachers, missionaries and faithful members, and we are here to support those who, like ourselves, are creating a life after Mormonism.

For many, the transition out of Mormonism is difficult and traumatic. It involves carefully examining the teachings of the church and evaluating them objectively. And it may involve the risk of disapproval or sometimes outright ostracism from friends and family. But it also involves a sincere search for truth. Whether you join our group or not, we invite you to explore our website, visit links we have established to other organizations, and ask questions. We warmly welcome you to join us in the search for real answers, real friends and the joy of an examined life. You are not alone!

What We Do

• We sponsor conferences and speakers about Mormonism, primarily for those who are leaving Mormonism, but also for all who wish to know more about its teachings and it practices;
• We offer emotional support to those who are leaving, or who have left the Mormon church;
• We serve the media and the general public as a reliable source of information about Mormonism;
• We provide support to individuals and groups who are working to present a more accurate view of Mormonism;
