Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Faith and Law's mission is to encourage and equip Christian policymakers to more fully understand the Biblical worldview and its implication in their calling to the public square.

We measure our accomplishments with the annual leadership conference through surveys, and in 2022 all attendees at our leadership conference who responded to our survey were very or extremely satisfied with the conference and many praised us for the many ways we implemented their suggestions from last year. 100% of those who completed the survey said they would attend future Faith and Law retreats, with 95% saying they would be very likely to invite others to attend.

Expenses $106,049
In 2022, Faith and Law hosted more Friday Forums for Capitol Hill staff than any other year in the organization's history. The Friday forums continue to be the most well known program that we offer and those event have the largest cumulative attendance throughout the year. Our Hill Staff Advisory Board serves as a quarterly focus group to assess our Friday Forum lectures and panels.

Expenses $87,217
Outside of the Friday Forums, weekly interest group meetings are our third largest program area, and include Reading Groups, Film Discussions, Hill Ministry Lunches and Mentoring Programs. In 2022 Faith and Law hosted more reading groups, and seminars for Capitol Hill staff than any other year in the organization's history, and including Friday Forums, we hosted 100+ events. We bolstered our current program offerings while also launching a few new initiatives, making great strides on our goals as outlined in our three-year strategic plan focused on expanding breadth and increasing depth in our participants, and increasing long-term sustainability and mission-effectiveness of the organization. Our Hill Staff Advisory Board serves as a quarterly focus group to assess our events and panels, as well as reading groups.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
