Historically, we now have served 195 churches or ministries in some capacity - as we work with them to do voter registration drives, mobilize members through our pledge to pray, vote, and engage, and to use our educational products. At the end of 2024, we had 102 on-going ministry partners that we work with monthly. Having built the only 501(c)3 protected "get out the vote" voter mobilization communication system for Christians across all 50 states, this "take the pledge" system not only motivates Christians to register to vote but encourages them to vote in every election - local, primaries, and general elections from a biblical perspective. Leading up to each election, those enrolled receive reminders to vote and are equipped with research materials from a non partisan Christian perspective. This system is unique for the Body of Christ. Quadrupling in 2024 from 200,000 to 850,000 people opting in to this communication system, these Christians received our weekly communications on prayer, voting, and engagement and voting reminders leading up to their local elections, special elections, primaries, runoffs and the important general election in 2024. On top of that growth, we also sent 33 million emails and hundreds of thousands of texts to Christians across the nation to vote in the 2024 election. The ministry has people in all 50 states who have taken the pledge to pray, vote, and engage and we are growing around the nation through strategic ministry partnerships with national ministries and local churches, public relations on Christian TV, radio, and podcasts, and mass marketing to Christians online. We held our fourth national conference featuring nationally recognized speakers from ministry and government and facilitated an impactful Washington DC trip with three focused days on "pray, vote, and engage" in our nation's capital including 26 young people (18-30 years old) on scholarship. Through those live events - we are mentoring and moving people into their specific callings related to prayer, voting, or engagement. Online and educational activities included releasing three new full on demand video curriculum packages: Biblical Worldview: Answers for Difficult Days, Biblical Conduct: Answers for Difficult Days, and a full 20-hour Campaign School partnering with Kingdom in Politics. In addition, the organization published another 100 Online articles in 2024 (making the number 550 over 5 years), produced 52 podcast episodes of Conversations with Christians Engaged, a weekly show on audio and video, with educational conversations with elected officials, ministry leaders, and subject leader experts, that were distributed by Edifi app (Christian Post) and The Stream as well. We also laid the groundwork for two new podcast releases that launched January 2025 - The 1630 Show - to reach young adults and - Jesus for America - a devotional show during the weekdays to encourage people to understand the Word of God during their busy lifestyles. The Christians Engaged Biblical Roadmap to the Party platforms was downloaded over 15,000 times by new people coming to our website, not counting the downloads from our voting reminders and guides. We also had 650,000+ website hits and 1,250,000+ downloads of our podcast or views of our videos in 2024. On the resource side, Christians Engaged continued to give away small books to Christians who took our pledge to pray, vote, and engage in churches and through volunteers giving approximately 3,000 books away and facilitating a Book Club and tour for our founders' national release - Jesus and Politics: One Woman's walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession. By the end of 2024, in just five short years, Christians Engaged has done collectively 774 speaking engagements, media appearances, or online events by our team (225 of those in 2024). By the end of 2024, over 2,500 people have gone through one of our full curriculum courses online or in person at a church. With a strategic merger with Family Policy Alliance Foundation in 2024, we become their church and civic engagement ministry for the nation, and our team is posed to impact the nation even more in the months and years ahead. We believe the church is the answer for America and we are committed to awakening the church and empowering her to do the work of prayer, voting and engaging for the wellbeing of the nation that we all love. 2036169 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false true 15 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true false false true true false false X Rhonda Bogner 9722717788 8675 Explorer Dr Ste 112 Colorado Springs CO 80920 Ben Quine Vice President & Director (Part Year) 40.0 0.0 X X 83852 0 16901 Bunni Pounds President & Director (Part Year) 45.0 0.0 X X 152178 0 15425 David Halvorson Secretary (Part Year) 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jim Goodloe Chairman 0.5 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Lt Gen Patrick P Caruana MS Chair ( Part Year) 0.5 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Scott Jones Chair/Vice Chair 1.0 0.5 X X 0 0 0 Bibi Loyola Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dorothy Brooks Director (Part Year) 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jason Ross Director (Part Year) 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Joe Paradiso Director 0.5 1.0 X 0 0 0 Kim Winblood Director (Part Year) 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Kyle Martin Director 0.5 1.0 X 0 0 0 Ladonna Lee Director 0.5 1.0 X 0 0 0 Lewis Hogan Director (Part Year) 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Marnie Freeman Director (Part Year) 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Geer Director 0.5 1.0 X 0 0 0 Rosel Cloud Director (Part Year) 1.0 35.0 X 0 0 0 Tim Goeglein Director 0.5 35.0 X 0 0 0 Victoria Cobb Director 0.5 35.0 X 0 0 0 Craig DeRoche CEO 10.0 35.0 X 0 208522 48925 Rhonda Bogner Treasurer & Chief Operating Officer 10.0 35.0 X 0 94634 5444 Sonja Swiatkiewicz Secretary & Chief of Staff 10.0 35.0 X 0 139085 10884 236030 442241 97579 1 false false true 0 1908811 1908811 Conference Fees 611600 47248 47248 Educational Classes 611600 5139 5139 0 0 0 0 52387 448 448 0 0 0 0 0 18443 18253 190 190 0 0 0 0 0 1961836 52387 0 638 718613 718613 268356 234836 16760 16760 52737 47237 5500 11210 10042 1168 26121 22870 1874 1377 6513 6513 15673 15673 64425 64425 16911 16911 0 0 563964 563964 55976 31010 7256 17710 39845 39845 11191 11191 8619 5653 2966 54465 54465 155792 155792 225 225 1184 1184 Resource Development 64361 64361 Outreach & Evangelism 59154 59154 0 0 0 0 2195335 2036169 58894 100272 214401 0 0 0 0 18253 0 0 845 0 0 0 0 0 233499 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 233499 0 233499 0 233499 0 -233499 0 X false false false X 127427 285967 634827 838066 1908811 3795098 0 0 127427 285967 634827 838066 1908811 3795098 392181 3402917 448 448 0 0 953 10 4647 0 5610 3801156 264176 0.89523 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income DESCRIPTION - OTHER INCOME, COLUMN A - , COLUMN B - 953.0, COLUMN C - 10.0, COLUMN D - 4647.0, COLUMN E - 0.0, COLUMN F - 5610.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X X true JackRabbit Strategies 2640 Winding Brook Dr Austin TX 78748 Consulting false 0 64425 -64425 0 64425 -64425 TX true Family Policy Alliance Foundation 8675 Explorer Dr Suite 112 Colorado Springs CO 80920 464577178 501(c)(3) 718613 Transfer of Assets upon merger 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds.
