Overview

Mission

The purposes of the corporation shall be: a. To propagate the gospel of the lord jesus christ by any legitimate means; and b. To conduct, operate and carry on radio broadcasting operations and stations, and incidental and related business in connection therewith, for educational, culture, religious, and other non-profit objects and purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 68% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
