The Dove Foundation is a registered United States non-profit organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, known for its activities of rating, reviewing and endorsing films, and for campaigning against the portrayal of sexual activity and violence in Hollywood films. It is also notable for its telemarketing and violation of the Missouri Do-Not-Call Implementation Act. Despite their similar logos, the Dove Foundation has no relation to Unilever, manufacturer of Dove brand soap. The organization was founded in 1991 as a not-for-profit organization.

It screens movies for suitability for family viewing, and endorses acceptable ones with the Dove "Family-Approved" Seal. Dove's web site states that review standards and criteria are based on Judeo-Christian values, and that Dove's non-profit status eliminates commercial pressure as a factor in its reviews.
