“Fpa was organized as a religious corporation on april 2, 2004, and is not organized for the private gain of any person. It is organized under the colorado nonprofit corporation act for religious purposes. Fpa was formed to provide an educational service to parents and others who are concerned with healthy family living, toward the end of strengthening the family in its varied dimensions. In addition, fpa uses telephone technology and online resources, including websites and web videos to alert citizens to important issues affecting the family in their state and nation. Fpa is active in the promotion of social welfare by addressing the christian community and the christian's responsibility in the public policy arena, both locally and nationally. The organization uses regular media channels, such as radio, the internet, and events, to discuss critical legislation and policy matters that significantly impact christian worldview issues. The organization is also used as a vehicle to discuss practical means for christians to become educated and involved in public policy matters. The organization encourages christians to be aware of and involved in their civic duties. As a result, fpa advances biblical citizenship, equips and elects statesmen and women, promotes policy and serves an effective alliance, all committed to a common vision of a nation where god is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished.”

“Family policy alliance (fpa) does not file any w-2s as all employees are outsourced from a professional employment organization. Fpa reimburses the professional employment organization for the employees' compensation and the reimbursements are reported on form 990 part vii, section a and 990 part ix, lines 5 - 10. A portion of the compensation reported in part vii, section a, column (d) and (f) as paid by fpa is reimbursed by family policy alliance foundation (fpaf) for work that fpa employees performed for fpaf. Part vii differs from the amounts reported on part ix, lines 5 and 7, as these amounts only reflect the compensation paid by fpa directly and not the portion reimbursed by fpaf.”
