Mission

WE IGNITE NATIONS (WIN) IS A CHRISTIAN HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES TO OVERCOME POVERTY AND INJUSTICE WITH SUSTAINABLE WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS.

  • EKKLESIA & EMPOWERMENT: THREE OF THE BIG FIVE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POVERTY ARE APATHY, DEPENDENCY, AND DISHONESTY. THATS WHY WIN BEGINS WITH EKKLESIA - THE LOCAL CHURCH EQUIPPING COMMUNITIES WITH THE WIN FOUNDATION - A STRONG IDENTITY AND LIFE-GIVING BIBLICAL VALUES. THESE FOUNDATIONS ALLOW ALL, REGARDLESS OF FAITH OR CREED, TO MOVE FROM DEPENDENCY TO SUFFICIENCY, FROM APATHY TO INCENTIVE, AND FROM DISHONESTY TO TRUSTWORTHYNESS. THE RESULT IS A REAL TRANSFORMATION THAT LASTS AND MULTIPLIES! WIN IDENTIFIES COMMUNITIES WHICH ARE SUFFERING EXTREME POVERTY, ILLITERACY AND OTHER AREAS OF LACK, THEN EMPOWERS THE LOCAL PEOPLE TO BRING ABOUT RADICAL, LASTING IMPROVEMENTS.

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.
