Opus Dei-Affiliated Foundations
Below are two tables. The first table lists Opus Dei-affiliated foundations in the United States. Many are strategically located near prestigious schools including MIT, Northeastern, Boston University, University of Notre Dame, UCLA, Colombia, Harvard, Boston College, Princeton, Marquette, University of Illinois, Brown University, Georgetown University, Rice University, UC Berkelely, Stanford University, University of San Francisco, St. Louis University, American University, and more.

The assets listed are primarily from the 2001 IRS 990 forms, but a few are from 2000 or 2002.
The second table lists sites affiliated with Opus Dei outside the United States. No financial information is available about these sites.
