Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 2

“Join the Journey conducted several major changes in 2020 led by the innovative development of a mobile application to connect donors and borrowers called Spark - which also added a digital literacy component with those we served. The organization also shifted its primary focus to Zambia, which expanded/modified some of our programming to tailor to that geographic region. We also adapted to a COVID-19 environment by hosting virtual events. For example, JTJ put on for the first-time ever a hackathon that drew participants from around the globe. Finally, the organization provided advisory and technical services to social enterprises and other non-profits to help them grow.”

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

“Join the Journey discontinued a multitude of its humanitarian activities as part of a strategic decision to focus exclusively on empowerment. JTJ oversaw a one-time compassion-based food aid delivery at the height of COVID but did not undertake anything further. This included discontinuing its annual toy drive at Christmas, Project Bright Smile. JTJ shifted a significant amount of its activity to a virtual environment due to COVID-19.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Compassion Grants - JTJ partners with local churches to facilitate grants meant to sustain immediate needs, primarily in the form of food aid and benevolence gifts to ministry workers who often do not collect a true salary. In 2020, JTJ provided humanitarian aid at the height of COVID, working with global partners to help people who were in insolation. We estimated at least 1,000 people benefitted from this programming line.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Join the Journey conducted several major changes in 2020 led by the innovative development of a mobile application to connect donors and borrowers called Spark - which also added a digital literacy component with those we served. The organization also shifted its primary focus to Zambia, which expanded/modified some of our programming to tailor to that geographic region. We also adapted to a COVID-19 environment by hosting virtual events. For example, JTJ put on for the first-time ever a hackathon that drew participants from around the globe. Finally, the organization provided advisory and technical services to social enterprises and other non-profits to help them grow.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Join the Journey discontinued a multitude of its humanitarian activities as part of a strategic decision to focus exclusively on empowerment. JTJ oversaw a one-time compassion-based food aid delivery at the height of COVID but did not undertake anything further. This included discontinuing its annual toy drive at Christmas, Project Bright Smile. JTJ shifted a significant amount of its activity to a virtual environment due to COVID-19.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The 990s were emailed to members for review.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Members verbally report life events to include current employment. At no time, has a board member reported any activities that may be a conflict of interest, especially since grants go to foreign partners overseas.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The documents were available on request and would have been e-mailed if such requests were made.
