Governance Explanations

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

“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed in detail by the Organization's top management, including the Corporate Treasurer. The 990 is also provided to the Board of Directors for their review prior to being filed with the IRS.”

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

“The organization requires all board members and officers to annually complete and sign a conflict of interest statement. The Board Chairman and Secretary are responsible for reviewing the signed statements and ensuring that interested persons are in compliance with the conflict of interest policy. 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 15

“The Corporate CEO's salary and pay increases are set by the Board of Trustees after their annual evaluation of his performance. The salaries of all other top management officials are determined by the CEO and approved by the Board of Trustees. Comparison data used in the salary approval process includes survey data from independent sources; review of Form 990 information for similar organizations involved in Bible teaching radio broadcasting; and regional differences in cost of living. The process and decisions are documented in the minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0Mobile Technology OutreachgoTandem is a mobile, daily discipleship experience that provides personalized biblical content directly through Android or iOS mobile applications or email. Over the past five years, goTandem has impacted the lives of more than 450,000 users. While the breadth of such outreach is encouraging, what is really exciting is a growing group of 40,000 who are focused on daily spiritual growth and biblical discipleship. For those involved in the app for at least 6 weeks, 55% experience less struggle with Destructive Thoughts, 51% have less struggle with being Spiritually Stalled, and 41% struggle less with Lust/Pornography. For those in the app for at least 12 weeks, it has successfully moved over 80% with no weekly Bible engagement to now engaging the Bible 4 or more times per week. Through scientifically significant research, this "Power of 4" goal is transformational. The life of someone who engages Scripture 4 or more days per week looks radically different from the life of someone who does not. In fact, the lives of Christians who do not engage the Bible most days of the week are statistically the same as the lives of non-believers.
