Mission and programs · 2024

• As a nonprofit with an educational mission, our main program has focused on working with 21 church congregations in 2 separate cohorts to train them in the powerful process of theological action research, engaging over 100 congregants in our workshops. The learning process is 2 years and is aimed at helping these congregations learn to thrive. It moves them through skills of careful listening and relationship building to social analysis and community study for the purpose of helping them better connect with one another and with their community, as well as to identify keen needs in their community. We then walk them through a process of corporate discernment and into an initial action that is both an expression of their shared mission, identity, and values in service to their wider, local community. Our qualitative assessment of each congregation has reported widespread success in relationship building, community connection, and enhanced creative service.

  Expenses $122,722

• Along with this primary activity, we have offered regular consulting and coaching for clergy and community leaders. Part of this coaching and consulting has included site visits to each of the 21 congregations with which we have worked. Our program evaluations suggest that this has been an important and essential component for helping these institutions grow, develop, and become socially reactivated in their communities.

• Finally, we have continued to conduct leadership academies, training dozens of young adults and faith-leaders in the essential practices of community organizing, social analysis, and collaborative action for equity and justice.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
