“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm, reviewed by the President and CFO, and then provided to the Board of Directors prior to filing.”

“The organization requires its board of directors and officers to disclose any potential conflicts of interest biannually at meetings of the board. The executive members of the board are responsible for monitoring the policy on a regular and consistent basis. Should a conflict of interest exist, interested parties are required to recuse themselves from the decision making process and subsequent vote.”

“The process for determining the compensation of the organization's top management officials and other officers involves comparative salary surveys, and is contingent on budget considerations. An independent compensation consultant is engaged for further input, and Form 990s from similar organizations are analyzed. Recommendations are made by the HR committee and compensation packages are approved by a compensation committee, consisting of independent members of the board of directors. Documentation of deliberations and decisions made are kept in the minutes.”

“The ministry of KSBJ has been impacting lives for Jesus Christ since 1981. KSBJ's mission is to be the Voice of Hope Connecting People to God, and we accomplish that mission through our on-air broadcasting, mentoring program, community outreach, and prayer initiatives. Because we are listener-supported, we are able to concentrate on creating the kind of radio that ministers to and encourages our listeners. Our programming is designed to fill the airwaves (both traditional and digital) with messages of the faith, hope, and love we have in Jesus Christ. KSBJ's core values reflect not only who we are and how we operate internally, but they also reflect the true heart of the ministry. KSBJ Core Values: We're Passionate for Christ... We are a people of prayer, faithfully devoted to being led by Christ. He is our passion and the source of our purpose. We will continually seek to follow (be filled by) Him and demonstrate His character in all we do. We Love People... We value authentic relationships and choose to see people through Jesus' eyes, embracing their uniqueness, loving them the way God loves us. We Serve Others...It's our joy to generously serve and meet needs in the name of Jesus. Using our gifts, talents and resources with integrity we seek to minister to the body of Christ, our community and the world. Together We're Better...We are a spiritual family on a journey to impact lives for Christ. We depend on one another understanding that where one is weak the other is strong, and that's okay, because "God arranges parts of the body - every one of them - just as He wants them to be" Our volunteers, board of directors (also volunteers), and staff hold each other to high standards and live out our core values daily. It takes an army of volunteers to support the ministry of KSBJ. We utilized approximately 2,900 volunteers giving over 11,700 hours of their time in various roles throughout the year. KSBJ Broadcasting: KSBJ broadcasting is sharing the message of hope found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. We broadcast to an average audience of over 750,000 listeners on a weekly basis in Houston and the surrounding Gulf Coast region. Our web streaming (www.ksbj.org and www.ngenradio.com) and mobile apps provide a way for people to listen anywhere in the world on any device with internet access. We receive numerous calls, emails, and social media posts from all over the world with people sharing how much encouragement and hope the ministry has given them. Here are just a couple of examples of the emails we receive: "I just wanted to say thank you for all you guys and for the music. I listen to you during my work day and more than once this month when it felt as though the walls are closing in and my stress level went up the 'right' song comes on and I can breathe! God is so amazing, His timing is so perfect!" "I have listened to KSBJ for over 14 years now, and it has been the rock to my salvation and faith. As far as taking the challenge, I try to encourage everyone to listen to KSBJ, because it can truly change a person's heart, mind, and soul!" "I am 18 years young & I just wanted to let you know that I haven't been such a good Christian but after listening to this station & going to tonight's NGEN concert, it makes me want to be a better Christian. I just want to thank you for that. You guys music makes me want to change for the better." In addition to the encouraging music played by KSBJ and NGEN, all of the on-air content shares hope, shines His light and ministers to the hearts of the hurting. Some of the on-air messaging this past year included: - Love That Sticks - Throughout February, we talked about unconditional love. God's love is unconditional and nothing can separate us from it - now that's the kind of LOVE THAT STICKS! (1 John 4:9-11) Our listeners blanketed the Gulf Coast with encouraging post it notes to spread God's love! We heard from thousands of listeners expressing the positive impact this campaign had on ou”
