Activities or mission (Part I)

SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES THROUGH EDUCATION

  • THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY MISSION IS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND ITS SUPPORTERS ON POLICY MATTERS PERTAINING TO THE SANCTITY OF LIFE, BIBLICAL MARRIAGE, TRADITIONAL FAMILY, AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES WEEKLY UPDATES TO FLORIDIANS DURING EACH LEGISLATIVE SESSION REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION THAT AFFECTS LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES NON-PARTISAN VOTER GUIDES TO EDUCATE MILLIONS OF VOTERS ON A BIENNIAL BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION'S SCHOLARSHIP GRANT PROGRAM ENABLES STUDENTS AGED 16-24 TO ATTEND PROGRAMS SUCH AS SUMMIT MINISTRIES, TEEN PACT, PATRIOT ACADEMY, AND OTHER SUMMER LEARNING EXPERIENCES, ALL OF WHICH EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS "PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAMILY DAYS" ANNUALLY AT THE STATE CAPITOL IN TALLAHASSEE. THIS COMPREHENSIVE TWO-DAY EVENT EQUIPS ATTENDEES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO ENGAGE WITH LEGISLATORS, GAIN INSIGHT INTO THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, AND STAY INFORMED ABOUT CRITICAL ISSUES UNDER DISCUSSION DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. STUDENTS, PARENTS, PASTORS, PREGNANCY CENTER DIRECTORS, AND BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS TAKE PART. THE PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAMILY DAYS PROGRAM INCLUDES VISITS TO THE SUPREME COURT, TOURS OF THE HOUSE CHAMBERS, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO OBSERVE LIVE DEBATES IN LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES. THE FLORIDA CAPITOL PROJECT TRAINS PASTORS IN CIVIC AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS, FACILITATES MEETINGS WITH LEGISLATORS AND ENABLES THE PASTORS TO PRAY WITH THE LEGISLATORS AND THEIR STAFFS. LED BY A FULL-TIME DIRECTOR OF PASTORAL MINISTRIES, THIS PROGRAM BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS. THE ORGANIZATION HOSTS AN ANNUAL DINNER, FEATURING NOTABLE SPEAKERS WHO FOCUS ON LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY AND/OR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FLORIDIANS WITH UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION REGARDING EVENTS THAT IMPACT LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY AND LIBERTY VIA MAILINGS, EMAIL BLASTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
