Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Mission of WBCL is to communicate God's redemptive love, grace, and truth through captivating media.

  • Through God's grace and the generosity of our donors, The WBCL Network reaches over 100,000 listeners each week with ten frequencies in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Additionally, we reach listeners worldwide through wbcl.org, rnp941.org, and our suite of mobile apps. The WBCL Network broadcasts contemporary, Christian and gospel music along with local news, weather, and entertainment with a commitment to reaching others for Christ. Beginning in 2023, WBCL began partnering with various promoters to host Christian concerts. These concerts contribute to the diverse menu of Christian programming designed to minister to the public at large. The WBCL Radio Network is a listener-supported, group of non-profit radio frequencies and streaming platforms that relies on the generosity of individual donors. We are able to spread the good news and reach hundreds of thousands of listeners each week for Him because of the generous people who support this ministry.

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. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility SO.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
