FRC's activities in accomplishment of its mission are to: - promote and defend traditional family values in print, broadcast and other media, - develop and advocate legislative and public policy initiatives which strengthen and fortify the family and promote traditional values, - establish and maintain an accurate source of statistical and research information which reaffirms the importance of the family in our civilization, and - inform and educate citizens on how they can promote biblical principles in our culture. false false 12543224 135213 0 Communications: An important way that FRC works with its church community is through its communication channels. FRC voices biblical truth and eternal values into the marketplace of ideas which the church can embrace and pass along to their own congregations and networks. FRC's Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, a daily one-hour program, is broadcast on a variety of video and streaming outlets, and is syndicated on radio stations that air in nearly every state. FRC has a strong representation of churches in our broadcast markets. The show allows FRC to cut through the media's filter and speak directly to concerned Americans and churches about how a biblical worldview shapes public policy. FRC President Tony Perkins has hosted dozens of Members of Congress as well as prominent policy experts, authors, pastors, and government officials. FRC co-sponsors the annual Pray Vote Stand Summit, a multi-day in-person and broadcast event featuring numerous speakers and panels. In addition, FRC hosts periodic Pray Vote Stand Townhall events that feature discussions and prayer with various guests. The Washington Stand is FRC's outlet for news and commentary from a biblical worldview. The Washington Stand's team of writers provide daily coverage of a variety of current events and topics. The Washington Stand also produces "Outstanding," a weekly podcast that examines news and issues through the lens of Scripture with an aim to take every thought captive for the obedience of Christ. The FRC Communications team, in collaboration with its Policy experts, made numerous live TV, cable network and radio appearances, and placed op-eds in publications nationwide. FRC also continues to reach, equip, and engage the public and the church via social media. 4730503 124657 0 Policy/Worldview: FRC is committed to producing quality policy research grounded in biblical truth. Its team of policy experts analyzes legislation for its impact on life, the family, and religious freedom. In addition, FRC's Center for Biblical Worldview equips Christians with a biblical worldview and trains them to advance and defend the faith in their families, communities, and the public square. FRC's publications and educational materials apply Christian principles to the pressing cultural and moral questions Americans are facing. Through FRC's extensive network of churches, these resources are disseminated to congregants to keep them informed and equipped with practical action steps of how they can help their local communities. FRC also serves as an extension of the church to the halls of government. The Government Affairs team advocates on behalf of Christians nationwide by working closely with lawmakers on both Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to pass pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom policies while also advising against legislation that is detrimental to these biblical values. 2304705 19423 602841 Church Ministries: FRC operates a cooperative undertaking with and among local church partners sharing FRC's mission. FRC's ministry seeks to strengthen partner churches and Christians in general as they seek to grow in a biblical worldview, and equips pastors and church leaders through training and by providing strategic resources. Through these efforts, FRC has recruited tens of thousands of pastors and prayer partners through various forms of outreach. Pastor roundtables and pastor briefings encourage pastors to be bold and courageous in today's rapidly growing hostile culture. Special townhall events hosted by churches draw pastors and congregants from across denominational lines, such as the October 2022 event "The Rise of the Term Christian Nationalism: Where did it come from and why is it being used?" in Leesburg, VA and the June 2023 "Townhall Meeting for Life" in Des Moines, IA. FRC also co-founded the National Gathering for Prayer & Repentance, an annual event that gathers Christian and government leaders to pray for the nation and seek God's forgiveness. Training is provided for Community Impact Teams, which bring church members together for the advancement of biblical values in their local communities. FRC's Stand Courageous Men's Conferences take place in churches across the country to encourage men to develop character, cultivate positive habits, build relationships, and make commitments that will move them closer to fulfilling God's purpose and design by leading in their homes, churches, and communities. FRC also produces "Stand on the Word," a 2-year Bible reading plan that includes discussion questions and daily devotional videos, and publishes Stand on the Word Study Guides on books of the Bible including Jeremiah and Ephesians. 19578432 true true false true false false false false false true true false true true false false true false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true true true false true X 100 0 true 116 true false false false false false true true 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 false false GA IL LA MD MA MN MS NJ OH OK SC TN UT X Craig Eiter 2023932100 801 G Street Washington DC 20001 Anthony Perkins President & CEO 36.0 4.0 X X 238367 26485 240882 Michele Bachmann Chairman 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Allan Hoekstra Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Anne-Marie Farrell Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Carter Conlon Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Paavo Ensio Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Paul Kepes Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Johannesen Treasurer (part year) 36.0 4.3 X 179043 19756 33694 David Langdon Secretary 2.0 2.1 X 0 0 0 Paul Tripodi Treasurer 36.0 4.0 X 0 0 0 William Boykin Executive Vice President 36.0 4.1 X 177565 19675 1182 Harold Harper Senior VP & Chief of Staff 40.0 X 186253 0 79549 Jody Hice Senior Vice President 34.0 6.0 X 147513 26032 32484 Christopher Gacek Sr. Fellow for Regulatory Affairs 40.0 X 152223 0 26464 Darin Smith National Director of Development 40.0 X 145746 0 34729 John P Duffy VP - Communications 40.0 X 157398 0 35546 Ricky Reynolds VP - Medio Ops 40.0 X 156438 0 9693 Travis Weber VP - Policy & Gov't Affairs 40.0 X 152135 0 10363 1692681 91948 504586 25 false true false Wolverine Printing 315 Grandville Ave SW Grand Rapids MI 49503 Printing 1112010 Bott Radio Network 10550 Barkley Overland Park KS 66212 Radio Show Broadcaster 533840 Enterprise Envelope 920 Ken-O-Sha Ind Park Dr SE Grand Rapids MI 495088215 Printing 219910 New Revolution Entertainment 81075 Giacomo Way La Quinta CA 92253 Event Entertainment 212985 J Kenneth Blackwell 693 Windings Lane Cincinnati OH 45220 Consulting 194125 9 23603929 23603929 Conferences & seminars 900099 571577 571577 Other fees 900099 31264 31264 0 0 0 0 602841 265783 265783 1500 0 1500 0 1500 1500 16427000 16427000 0 0 Mailing Services 561499 308 308 31253 0 0 31253 31561 24505614 602841 308 298536 X 240793 240793 38500 38500 0 0 1418270 1227705 123918 66647 7750809 6709381 677207 364221 258233 223536 22562 12135 1698170 1469996 148374 79800 650218 562852 56811 30555 82981 71832 7250 3899 110395 95562 9645 5188 112738 112738 3088870 2736595 302383 49892 65249 56482 5701 3066 569868 477685 60048 32135 1654933 1410400 159012 85521 739710 640320 64630 34760 559320 484168 48869 26283 824 713 72 39 707252 612223 61794 33235 493023 426778 43077 23168 Publications & mailing 1612884 1396170 140922 75792 Video, tapes, & production costs 363224 314420 31736 17068 Equipment rental & maintenance 256805 222299 22438 12068 Information services 167579 145062 14642 7875 17282 14960 1510 812 22657930 19578432 2002601 1076897 X 1335717 1226514 109203 1675 1575 2790996 4235721 37478 67257 495375 671120 0 0 165120 331178 13356813 8237521 5552108 5119292 4552142 4069708 0 912760 8014296 7674581 21609190 23083192 1163861 1419066 443036 134000 0 0 7566341 7246490 9173238 8799556 X 11998854 13257104 437098 1026532 12435952 14283636 21609190 23083192 1847684 0 X false true X true false X 16408146 21942613 24154910 21693751 23603929 107803349 0 0 16408146 21942613 24154910 21693751 23603929 107803349 0 107803349 25198 8609 42543 132474 267283 476107 0 0 0 0 0 0 1207 4858 0 6911 31253 44229 108323685 3048467 0.9952 0.9975 X Schedule A, Part II The organization is a church as described under 170(b)(1)(A)(i) and is not required to complete a public support schedule.
