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.

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 2024 we continued our Open the Gates campaign to raise 7 million dollars and we have raised over 6.4 million toward that goal. By the end of the year we had 108 Gospel Justice Centers at some stage of opening/operating in 19 states. 34 of these were new in 2024. We saw a 28 increase in volunteer attorneys serving 277 and a 35 increase in the value of services donated 1,627,671. 1,053 trained volunteers served 2,973 client appointments with 94 of those clients being highly satisfied with the legal help received and 94 reporting experiencing a deeper sense of Gods love. We saw an overall increase of 40 in professional services donated by volunteers 3,552,549.
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.
