What Christians Engaged does
Mission
To awaken, educate, and empower believers in Jesus Christ to: Pray for our nation and elected officials regularly; Vote in every local, state, and national election to impact our culture; Engage our hearts in civic education or involvement for the well-being of our local communities and our nation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The organization dissolved its operations as of 12-31-2024 when it merged with Family Policy Alliance Foundation.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
In 2024, Christians Engaged, a non-partisan civic engagement discipleship ministry, awakened, educated and empowered Christians all over America - adding in another 60 national, state wide, or local ministries and churches through our in-person programs, weekend seminars, or our strategic ministry partnership program - with no cost to them. 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.…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $233k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 9 funders, grant income rose $10k → $108k.
10 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 90% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Christians Engaged’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Christians Engaged leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
91% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Christians Engaged.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 63% · 2022 67% · 2023 24% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
60% of Christians Engaged's funders are still giving 1 year after their first grant; 45% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
90% of Christians Engaged's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $129k that is directly attributable, 86% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
