One of our favorite community outreach efforts involved our partnership with 15 local pregnancy help centers where we collected over $20K gift cards, 23K diapers and 396 cans of baby formula to remind mothers in need they are not alone. Since Summer months can be dangerously hot in our area, we partnered with Blue Bell Ice Cream through Ice Cream Emergency to provide over 4K pints of FREE ice cream to children and their families. Also to help combat the heat and high energy costs, we partnered with NRG to pay energy bills for some of our listeners who were struggling. KSBJ's morning show also gave away new air conditioners to listeners during the heat wave! And although we are grateful, we did not have a natural disaster in our area last year, we were still prepared. We hosted a Blessing Buckets packing event in partnership with God's Pit Crew in Houston to help prep our city for hurricane season. Over 1,000 buckets full of hurricane relief supplies are packed and ready to go as needed. Finally, to end the year on a high note, we partnered with BEAR (Be A Resources) through our Christmas Wishes program where we helped provide Christmas gifts to over 26K children in CPS and foster care. We are grateful for every opportunity to live out our mission to Love Jesus, Serve others, and Spread Hope. Programming: Our mission at Hope Media Group is to engage people to love Jesus, serve others, and spread Hope. It's key to everything we do with our content, events and our digital discipleship. Using radio and online listening platforms, some of HMG's specific programs include: KSBJ - First went on-air in 1982 and has been striving to be the Voice of Hope to Houston, TX, and the surrounding areas ever since. WayFM - a network of listener-supported stations across the country that plays uplifting music that engages laughter with the DJs. WayLoud - a mix of Christian rock from artists like Skillet, Demon Hunter, Disciple, and Switchfoot. It is available 24/7 and includes interaction with a community of rock fans. NGEN Radio - a faith-forward place for the "now generation." We play positive hip hop and pop and tackle important topics head-on, because life is too short to not be real. Hope on Demand - a hub for videos, podcasts, and blogs, to help connect you to love Jesus, serve others, and spread Hope. Special Events - spreads the gospel of Jesus Christ by producing Biblically-based concerts and gatherings through the country. God Listens App - connects people with others, making prayer timely, interactive, and tangible. When someone prays for a request, they share hope, support, and encouragement. Vida Unida - launched in November 2021, is family-oriented and influenced by Hispanic culture with inspirational Christian music and media in Spanish. World's Biggest Small Group - Three times annually HMG provides The World's Biggest Small Group. This devotional appears online, with support information on air, via social media and podcasts. This feature, centering around a biblical theme, includes daily devotional messages by well-known personalities to help our content users grow in their faith. Well over 50,000 participants join this program each time it is offered. Word on the WAY- HMG offers a daily scripture to email subscribers who request it. This mirrors an on-air feature and is supported by social media. Bibles - Through a partnership with Tyndale House Publishers, HMG offers a free Bible to all those who request one. Thousands of bibles are mailed out by our staff each year. Recipients include those listeners who are incarcerated, destitute or those new to, or seeking faith. Prayer Wall - HMG knows how important it is to feel supported and encouraged during life's challenges and having others praying is an incredible source of Hope. Finding prayer partners should be easy, and we know what it's like to want more prayer, so listeners and guests can go online to our Prayer Wall and leave a request or pray for others. We also have a Prayer and Care Line where anyone can call or text and be prayed over. We expect to engage close to 1 million people in the coming year. 26580451 true true false true false false false false false true false false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 143 0 true 230 true true true false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false CO FL GA HI KY AK MD MA MI MN MS NH NM NY NC ND OR PA SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X Desiree Gonzalez 2814465725 1722 Treble Drive Humble TX 77338 Dr Joe Parle Chair 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Killinger Vice Chair 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Heather Puca Finance Chair 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Joe Paulo President/CEO 50.0 X X 353044 0 49923 Dr Harry Chapman Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Gabrielle Bosche Director (part year) 1.0 X 0 0 0 Joe Battaglia Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Mark Maxwell HR Chair 1.0 X 0 0 0 Nancy Overfield Director (part year); Chief of Marketing (as of 10/2022) 50.0 X 51269 0 1588 Desiree Gonzalez CFO 50.0 X 221084 0 44887 Tim Dukes COO 50.0 X 251328 0 6260 Byron Harrell Chief of Programming 50.0 X 176675 0 32720 Donald Ayers Business Development Director 40.0 X 162611 0 6358 Elaine Welcome Chief of Administration 50.0 X 274899 0 16734 Gary Wallace WayFM On Air Talent 40.0 X 166267 0 27650 James Marshall Chief of Media Operations 50.0 X 165823 0 27727 1823000 0 213847 43 false true false For King & Country Taylor St Nashville TN 37208 Artist Honorariums 561521 DUNHAMCOMPANY 6111 W Plano Pkwy Plano TX 75093 Fundraising consultants 557949 Dickerson Bakker & Associates PO Box 98685 Raleigh NC 27624 Donation Solicitation 156470 Casting Crowns 105 SE Parkway Franklin TN 37064 Artist Honorariums 155314 4 5670 29545125 163214 29550795 Concert Series/Events 711300 1644228 1644228 Broadcast revenue 541800 1051359 332618 718741 Program/Partnership Sponsorships 541800 342060 342060 6384 6384 0 0 3044031 573419 573419 152128 442747 0 -290619 -290619 -290619 47066 0 67031 594906 -19965 -594906 -614871 -614871 12614 4598 8016 8016 Digital services 541800 584380 584380 560242 0 0 560242 1144622 33415393 1991246 1354562 518790 60000 60000 1039662 1039662 129329 129329 12825911 9434829 1196276 2194806 490614 352942 48660 89012 4735124 3239334 694538 801252 1192019 814117 184610 193292 223559 120104 92760 10695 152336 152336 853613 853613 3180530 2340380 260084 580066 3074254 2876083 2245 195926 426728 112089 4365 310274 434298 343094 40255 50949 2450515 2392822 22469 35224 791893 528032 130925 132936 53715 32552 14407 6756 90239 75761 6538 7940 744911 629073 49600 66238 251891 195561 26151 30179 Taxes, Licenses, and Fees 1410515 718104 23318 669093 Dues, Memberships, and Subscriptions 1204983 816427 233318 155238 Telecommunication 540418 495318 23586 21514 Catering, Meals and Entertainment 355266 218072 32040 105154 1257439 785757 188286 283396 37969762 26580451 4595758 6793553 11296715 1271514 11448731 22723556 11795975 2820081 293111 1008326 0 0 110258 131532 20658 17581 490586 896446 21380853 12547818 8059568 8833035 2075241 2197633 0 0 32885427 33848698 47424 10636022 78523694 84384424 2932399 2616428 1078961 1384916 0 2764719 2204228 0 10880204 6776079 17085776 X 53501737 54827118 18245878 12471530 71747615 67298648 78523694 84384424 -4554369 105402 0 X false true X true false X 14538247 13270237 18932191 24556219 29550795 100847689 0 0 14538247 13270237 18932191 24556219 29550795 100847689 0 100847689 153227 122527 51795 49194 573419 950162 0 3878 9947 4758 16256 560242 595081 102392932 4570574 0.9849 0.9879 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income DESCRIPTION - , COLUMN A - 3878.0, COLUMN B - 9947.0, COLUMN C - 4758.0, COLUMN D - 16256.0, COLUMN E - 560242.0, COLUMN F - 595081.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 29509000 29509000 1000000 0 250000 0 0 837727 704786 1000000 1000000 3542513 5313770 0 0 0 0 0 209432 176197 250000 250000 885629 1328444 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule C, Part II-A Hope Media Group had not lobbying expenditures during the tax year.
