Overview

Mission

The specific purpose is to provide christian, family friendly, teaching, training and content and media via the internet.

What it reported doing in 2024

We have now partnered with many of the reputable ministry partners, like the american family association afa, american family radio, josh mcdowell ministries, living waters/ray comfort, southern evangelical seminary, the frederick douglass association and many moral entertainment content providers. All to achieve the goal of offering lots of family friendly content inexpensively in one simple and easy location. Our goal is to provide quality family friendly entertainment, information and education. Yet we believe that not every thing you watch needs to be a sermon or be evangelistic. Often you just want to laugh and be entertained or be informed without compromising your morals or quality. Content should be moral, but it neednt always be about teaching a moral. Afn will be an alternative to current cable tv & satellite tv providers. With over 200 family-friendly television channels aligned with christian values. We will deliver news, sports and entertainment that will rival current networks, but without depravity. Ad supported channel providers will compete for viewership ensuring quality and variety. The individuals will need to download our app to the smart tv or handheld device or apple tv/roku/chromecast etc. To get access to the channels. Service (the first 21 or more channels) will start four months after we meet our funding and membership goals. Credit cards will only be charged the full amount after the goal is met, (we do charge 1 initially, that will be fully refunded if we do not meet our goals). New channels will be added quickly as soon as we can qualify them.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
