==Organizational structure==
The Moral Majority comprised four distinct organizations:<ref>Liebman, Robert and Robert Wuthnow (1983) ''The New Christian Right'', p. 54. New York: Aldine Publishing Company. {{ISBN|0-202-30307-1}}</ref>

* Moral Majority Inc. – the organization's lobbying division, which addressed issues on local, state, and national levels.
* Moral Majority Foundation – the organization's educational component, through which the Moral Majority educated ministers and lay people on political issues and conducted voter registration drives.
* Moral Majority Legal Defense Fund – the organization's legal instrument, used primarily to challenge the [[American Civil Liberties Union]] and [[secular humanism|secular humanist]] issues in court.
* Moral Majority Political Action Committee – the organization's mechanism for supporting the candidacy of people whose political platforms reflected Moral Majority values.

The state chapters of the Moral Majority were financially independent from the national organization and relied on local resources to conduct their activities. Consequently, the national organization encouraged local chapters to cooperate with their policies but had little control over local chapters' activities.<ref>Liebman, Robert and Robert Wuthnow (1983) ''The New Christian Right'', p. 70.
