MFC DEFENDS TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES ROOTED IN BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES AGAINST LEGISLATIVE ACTION THAT THREATENS TO UNDERMINE THE CIVIC, MORAL, ECONOMIC, LEGAL AND SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIETY IN GENERAL AND THE FAMILY IN PARTICULAR MFC LOBBYISTS ENDEAVOR TO EDUCATE LEGISLATORS ABOUT PENDING LEGISLATION THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS THE FAMILY AND ENCOURAGES THEM TO ADVANCE LEGISLATION THAT STRENGTHENS THE SAME. 0 0 71029 0 0 OVER THE YEARS, MFC HAS GAINED THE CONFIDENCE AND RESPECT OF ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OTHERS THROUGH PERSONAL INTEGRITY, CONSISTENT FOCUS ON A CHRIST-CENTERED BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON POLICY, RESPECTFUL CONSIDERATION OF OPPOSING LEGISLATIVE PERSPECTIVES, REFUSAL TO BECOME IMMERSED IN A SINGLE-ISSUE AGENDA AND OUR GROWING, INFLUENTIAL GRASSROOTS BASE. THE MEDIA AND EVEN OUR IDEOLOGICAL OPPONENTS LOOK TO US FOR LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION AND A PRO-FAMILY PERSPECTIVE.MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL ISSUES INFORMATIONAL UPDATES AND COMMENTARIES SENT OUT TO THOUSANDS OF MINNESOTA HOMES AND BUSINESSES VIA EMAIL AND DIRECT MAIL. THESE COMMUNICATIONS FEATURE INSIDE INFORMATION ON LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY DURING THE SESSIONS, ANALYSIS OF LEGISLATIVE VOTING RECORDS, CULTURAL ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTFUL PRO-FAMILY PERSPECTIVE ON NEWS AND ISSUES IMPACTING THE FAMILY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA, FROM A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW PERSPECTIVE.MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL HAS ALSO EXERCISED INFLUENCE OVER THE PUBLIC DEBATE THROUGH NEWS RELEASES, PRESS CONFERENCES AND A GENERAL STRATEGY OF APPEARING IN THE MEDIA. SPOKESPERSONS HAVE APPEARED ON NATIONAL AND REGIONAL TELEVISION BROADCASTS, BEEN INTERVIEWED NUMEROUS TIMES ON RADIO AND TELEVISION, AND BEEN QUOTED BY MANY REGIONAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS. BASED ON CHRISTIANS' CALLING TO "PRACTICE CITIZENSHIP WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST" (PHILIPPIANS 1:27), MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL HAS ORGANIZED PRO-LIFE AND PRO-FAMILY CITIZENS ACROSS THE STATE INTO A GRASSROOTS NETWORK AS A "SALT AND LIGHT" CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC POLICY ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES AND TO MOBILIZE FAITHFUL VOTERS IN ELECTIONS FAITHFUL TO VOTE, CONSISTENT WITH THEIR FAITH AND BIBLICAL VALUES (MATTHEW 5:13-16). FOR THE 2022 ELECTION, MFC CONTINUED ITS REDESIGNED VOTER GUIDE, PREVIOUSLY PRODUCED BY MFC'S EDUCATIONAL ARM, MFI, ESPECIALLY FOR USE IN CHURCHES, EMPHASIZING "THE POWER OF BIBLICAL CITIZENSHIP". THIS IS GOD-CENTERED CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY POWER ON EARTH THAT CAN TRULY CHANGE HEARTS, MINDS, LIVES, AND CULTURES.DEFENDING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, PROTECTING THE SANCTITY OF LIFE, AND UPHOLDING GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE, SEXUALITY AND FAMILY HAVE BEEN PROMINENT AMONG THE ISSUES ON WHICH MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL HAS ENGAGED. TO ACTIVATE ITS GRASSROOTS NETWORK, MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL EMPLOYS A WIDE RANGE OF COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS TO REACH THOUSANDS OF CONSTITUENT HOUSEHOLDS WITH TIMELY ACTION ALERTS. THESE ACTION ALERTS IDENTIFY SOCIAL ISSUES OF SIGNIFICANT MAGNITUDE THAT NEED IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS. CONSTITUENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THEIR LEGISLATORS AND LEADERS OF OTHER PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, TO WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITORS OF THE COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS OF THEIR CHOICE USING OUR ONLINE ADVOCACY TOOLS, AND GET OUT AND VOTE. THESE TOOLS HAVE ENCOURAGED A GROUNDSWELL OF GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM THAT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OPPOSITION GROUPS ALIKE, AS THEY HAVE SEEN ITS INFLUENCE IN THE STATE. 71029 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 17 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 MN X JEFF EVANS 6127898811 525 PARK STREET 460 SAINT PAUL MN 55103 JONATHAN BAKEWICZ DIRECTOR 0.50 0.25 X 0 0 0 DAVE EATON DIRECTOR 0.50 0.25 X 0 0 0 PASTOR JIM ANDERSON CHAIR 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 ARNIE ABENS VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.50 X X 0 0 0 EVAN WILSON SECRETARY 0.50 0.25 X X 0 0 0 JOHN HELMBERGER CEO 20.00 40.00 X 139933 0 3992 139933 0 3992 1 0 0 0 0 33382 192005 225387 4000 33382 2305 1695 1695 OTHER INCOME 900099 20790 20790 20790 247872 0 0 22485 X 54375 25544 26678 2153 3950 3095 855 1282 495 731 56 9883 3816 5632 435 913 913 13794 13794 23006 19722 3284 5735 5735 5219 1632 2994 593 7719 2023 5222 474 231 38 187 6 1493 757 673 63 EQUIPMENT COST 19114 1552 17384 178 OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE 10042 6748 3165 129 MFC ACTION FUND SUPPORT 2972 2967 5 159728 71029 83757 4942 10000 143502 12307 2986 131195 399276 579299 402262 720494 103658 333746 103658 333746 X 298604 386748 298604 386748 402262 720494 88144 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 28166 0 28166 28166 0 PART I-A, LINE 1: PARTISAN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES RELATING TO ELECTION. 143502 12307 131195 131195 DUE FROM MFI 438162 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 141137 579299 X PART X, LINE 2: MINNESOTA FAMILY COUNCIL QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(4) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC) AND APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES.
