Mission

STAYING TRUE TO THE FOUNDATION OF COMBINING JESUS AND JUSTICE, RED LETTER CHRISTIANS MOBILIZES INDIVIDUALS INTO A MOVEMENT OF BELIEVERS WHO LIVE OUT JESUS' COUNTER-CULTURAL TEACHINGS.

  • PROGRAM 1: PUBLIC WITNESS & MOVEMENT BUILDING PRIMARY FOCUS: RED LETTER REVIVALS, PUBLIC VIGILS, AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM INITIATIVES IN A YEAR MARKED BY SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL DIVISION, RED LETTER CHRISTIANS (RLC) SUCCESSFULLY MOBILIZED A BROAD, MULTI-RACIAL COALITION OF FAITH LEADERS TO CHAMPION A VISION OF CHRISTIANITY CENTERED ON JESUS'S TEACHINGS OF PEACE AND JUSTICE. RLC HOSTED THREE 'RED LETTER REVIVALS' IN SANTA ANA, CA, PHILADELPHIA, PA, AND A WEEK-LONG VIRTUAL SERIES. THESE EVENTS REACHED THOUSANDS GLOBALLY AS A DIRECT, NON-PARTISAN COUNTER-NARRATIVE TO CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM. THESE EVENTS WERE CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ADVISORY COUNCILS COMPRISING PASTORS, ACTIVISTS, AND THOSE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY INJUSTICE, ENSURING THAT NATIONAL MOVEMENT-BUILDING REMAINED ROOTED IN LOCAL SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, RLC LED A COLLABORATIVE GOOD FRIDAY VIGIL AND ACTION AT LOCKHEED MARTIN IN KING OF PRUSSIA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL GAZA CEASEFIRE PILGRIMAGE, PROVIDING A FAITHFUL PUBLIC WITNESS FOR PEACE AND CALLING FOR AN END TO THE PROFITEERING OF WAR BY WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS.

    Expenses $228,329 · Grants $31,689 · Revenue $45,455

  • PROGRAM 2: RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT & SPIRITUAL FORMATION PRIMARY FOCUS: DIGITAL CONTENT, DEVOTIONALS, AND WEEKLY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO SUSTAIN AND EQUIP THE MOVEMENT LONG TERM, RLC PROVIDED CONSISTENT SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES TO A GLOBAL AUDIENCE. WE HOSTED 12 VIRTUAL BOOK CLUBS AND 12 MORNING PRAYER EVENTS, INTENTIONALLY AMPLIFYING DIVERSE VOICES FROM THE MARGINS TO LEAD THE CHURCH TOWARD A MORE JUST FUTURE. IN RESPONSE TO THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE HOLY LAND, RLC LAUNCHED A SPECIALIZED CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL SERIES FOR ADVENT WHICH FEATURED PRIMARILY PALESTINIAN VOICES CALLING FOR AN END TO THE GENOCIDE AND MOBILIZING OUR COMMUNITY TOWARD ADVOCACY AND RELIEF, ALL IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHURCH CALENDAR. OUR WEEKLY PODCAST AND REGULAR SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION ALERTS CONTINUED TO SERVE AS A VITAL CONDUIT FOR JUSTICE, EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON ISSUES OF STATE-SANCTIONED VIOLENCE AND THE BIBLICAL CALL TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY.

    Expenses $57,557

  • PROGRAM 3: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & COLLABORATIVE ADVOCACY PRIMARY FOCUS: PEACEMAKER SUMMIT, CO FORUM, AND LEGACY STEWARDSHIP WE CO-HOSTED THE INAUGURAL PEACEMAKER SUMMIT IN PHILADELPHIA, BRINGING TOGETHER OVER 100 PRACTITIONERS TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES IN PEACEMAKING, KINGIAN NONVIOLENCE, AND PARTICIPATE IN HANDS-ON DEMONSTRATIONS IN FORGING, WELDING, AND WOODTURNING. RLC ALSO LAUNCHED A COMPREHENSIVE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR (CO) RESOURCE PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE AND HOSTED A VIRTUAL FORUM TO SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE NAVIGATING FAITH-BASED OBJECTIONS TO WAR. FINALLY, FOLLOWING THE PASSING OF OUR CO-FOUNDER TONY CAMPOLO, WE HOSTED A GLOBAL VIRTUAL CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE ON HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY, THAT WAS ROOTED IN HIS LEGACY TO INSPIRE A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS TO LIVE OUT THE 'RED LETTERS' OF THE GOSPEL IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

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.

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 PC.

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.
