Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

Form 990 is prepard by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organizations top management. The reviewed Form 990 is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS.

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

The board has a policy manual which is reviewed with every new board member and officer. One of the policies is the conflict of interest policy which new board members and officers must sign off on when they join. Once a year this is reviewed by existing board members and officers for the same purpose. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

The CEOs compensation is set by a committee of independent board members after review of independent compensation data and evaluation of performance. The organization utilizes multiple compensation comparability reports to assist in determining fair and reasonable compensation. The final compensation is approved at the board meeting and the process is documented in the minutes.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.

Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1

Compensation reported in Part VIII, column D is the amount reported on the individuals W-2, box 1 or 5 whichever is greater per the IRS instructions. In the case of a ministers compensation when box 5 of the W-2 is not applicable, box 1 compensation is used. Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the ministers retirement plan deferrals in Part VIII, column F.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

We have implemented a comprehensive compensation policy where all positions are benchmarked to compensation surveys, independently reviewed and carefully documented.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4A

Program Service Accomplishments Administer Justice has three unique distinctives that combined to differentiate our legal ministry services from all other organizations A we affirm dignity and sustainability B we are Biblical and holistic C we are church-led, team supported and neighborhood based.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4A

In 2022 we continued our Open the Gates campaign to raise 7 million dollars and open 300 Gospel Justice Centers by the end of 2025. At the end of the year, wed raised over 4 million and had 80 Gospel Justice Centers at some stage of opening/operating in 15 states. 36 of these were new in 2022. We saw a 22 increase in volunteer attorneys serving 166 and a 30 increase in the value of services donated 576,798. 742 trained volunteers served 3,374 clients with 94 of those clients being highly satisfied with the legal help received and 93 reporting experiencing a deeper sense of Gods love. At the end of 2022 we entered a new partnership with Prison Fellowship to expand in five cities in 2023 and our CEO secured a contract with InterVarsity Press to publish his new book, Persevering Power, in 2023.

IRS990/Desc0Administer Justice empowers vulnerable neighbors with the help of a lawyer and the hope of Gods love through the hope of the church. Our vision is to see 1,000 Gospel Justice Centers transforming lives in the name of Christ. These centers are in neighborhood churches across the country. Administer Justice trains volunteers for nine different distinct roles that simplify justice through a fully supported, turnkey operation. Each Gospel Justice Center requires 5,000 to open but once opened is fully sustained through 30 client co-pays. Donors support the funds to launch a center and clients keep the doors open as they contribute a small amount toward the help and hope they received through a center.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Program Service Accomplishments Administer Justice has three unique distinctives that combined to differentiate our legal ministry services from all other organizations A we affirm dignity and sustainability B we are Biblical and holistic C we are church-led, team supported and neighborhood based.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1In 2022 we continued our Open the Gates campaign to raise 7 million dollars and open 300 Gospel Justice Centers by the end of 2025. At the end of the year, wed raised over 4 million and had 80 Gospel Justice Centers at some stage of opening/operating in 15 states. 36 of these were new in 2022. We saw a 22 increase in volunteer attorneys serving 166 and a 30 increase in the value of services donated 576,798. 742 trained volunteers served 3,374 clients with 94 of those clients being highly satisfied with the legal help received and 93 reporting experiencing a deeper sense of Gods love. At the end of 2022 we entered a new partnership with Prison Fellowship to expand in five cities in 2023 and our CEO secured a contract with InterVarsity Press to publish his new book, Persevering Power, in 2023.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Form 990 is prepard by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the organizations top management. The reviewed Form 990 is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing with the IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The board has a policy manual which is reviewed with every new board member and officer. One of the policies is the conflict of interest policy which new board members and officers must sign off on when they join. Once a year this is reviewed by existing board members and officers for the same purpose. Should any potential conflicts of interest be disclosed, the board member or officer would be asked to refrain from participation in any deliberation or decision with regard to matters affected by the relationship.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The CEOs compensation is set by a committee of independent board members after review of independent compensation data and evaluation of performance. The organization utilizes multiple compensation comparability reports to assist in determining fair and reasonable compensation. The final compensation is approved at the board meeting and the process is documented in the minutes.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6Compensation reported in Part VIII, column D is the amount reported on the individuals W-2, box 1 or 5 whichever is greater per the IRS instructions. In the case of a ministers compensation when box 5 of the W-2 is not applicable, box 1 compensation is used. Employee deferrals to qualified retirement plans are normally captured in box 5, not box 1 of Form W-2. For reporting purposes we have included the ministers retirement plan deferrals in Part VIII, column F.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7We have implemented a comprehensive compensation policy where all positions are benchmarked to compensation surveys, independently reviewed and carefully documented.
