The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth, commonly known as The SALT, is an evangelical Christian organization founded in 1996 by Christine O'Donnell,[3][4] a Christian public relations and marketing consultant who ran for the United States Senate, hoping to represent the State of Delaware, in 2006, 2008, and 2010.
[1][2] The organization sought to promote chastity in young people before marriage, preferring to avoid the use of the term sexual abstinence.
[7] O'Donnell founded the organization in 1996 in order to sponsor a rally of young people at the Republican National Convention to support the party's anti-abortion stance.
[3] By 1997 SALT had 4 chapters, two in New Jersey, one in Philadelphia and one in Washington, D.C.[3] In September 2010, the Saviors Alliance faced a possible loss of its non-profit, tax exempt status for failing to file tax forms for the past three years (2007–2009) with the Internal Revenue Service.
[8] An attorney for O'Donnell's 2010 political campaign responded that such a failure to file was a common oversight among small non-profits.
