Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11

“Sojourners engages a certified public accountant to prepare the federal form 990. The federal form 990 is reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer and the return is signed, after review, by another officer of the corporation. Prior to filing the form 990, a PDF version of the return is sent to all board members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“Key employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors are required to review the Conflict of Interest policy and acknowledge that they have done so in writing to the organization. Annually, each of the above individuals must complete a disclosure form identifying any potential relationships, positions, or circumstances in which the individual, member of their family, or an organization in which the individual serves as an owner, officer, or director is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a conflict of interest.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The salary and benefits of the President are reviewed annually by an independent committee of the Board of Directors based on market data for similar positions in the Washington DC area. The committee meets in executive session and therefore no minutes are maintained for these meetings. However, the decisions reached by the compensation committee are memorialized in a compensation agreement between the organization and the President which details all compensation and fringe benefits to be received in the upcoming year. Key employees and compensated officers of the corporation are subject to the salary administration system of the organization as are all other employees. The salary ranges for each position were determined through market based salary surveys for nonprofits of similar size and scope. Employees' pay is maintained within these market based ranges and subject to annual review and with a possibility of merit increase. Salary administration is managed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President for Human Resources. All salary decisions are documented in the employees personnel file. Please see Schedule J, Part III, for more about executive compensation details”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Messaging & Media: Sojourners (www.sojo.net) broadens the public dialogue in the United States regarding the intersection of faith, public life and culture. Sojourners articulates a strong moral and religious imperative behind more just and responsible policies. This is done through both national media and our own media platforms (Sojourners magazine, social media, and our digital platforms), and through speaking tours and interviews of Sojourners' president, Jim Wallis, and other staff. Our digital publication is among the most read Christian social justice publications. 4 million people from more than 220 countries and territories visited Sojourners' website in the last year. Jim Wallis and our Chief Church Engagement Officer Lisa Sharon Harper also speak across the country and around the world. We offer analysis, news and commentary on current issues and events, and we produce a number of additional electronic and print resources for pastors and faith leaders.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Mobilization/Organizing Policy: For 45 years, Sojourners has been a connecting point for people of faith in this country and globally. Sojourners is bringing people together-even across traditional political and theological divides-to find real solutions to some of the most significant concerns of our time. Our focus on the common good and finding common ground based on shared values allows us to transcend the usual ideological debates. In FY16, our key issues included poverty and inequalities, police violence, women and girls, racial justice, war and peace, immigration reform, and the environment, among other concerns.
