These champions include adoptive and foster parents, advocates, social workers, pastors and church staff, volunteers, national leaders in developing nations, and leaders and staff of child-serving organizations. This work takes shape especially through focused initiatives that unite an expansive range of organizations, churches, and individuals in coordinated action for profound collective impact. These include CAFO Global Networks, the More than Enough initiative, the Pure Religion Project (building on the legacy of Orphan Sunday and Stand Sunday),the National Church Ministry Initiative, the Center on Applied Research for Vulnerable Children and Families, the Aging Out Initiative, the Institute for Family Centered Healing & Health, the Development and Discipleship Initiative, and other targeted programs. This work also involves a wide range of communication efforts to build awareness and effective engagement, including three podcast series, regular interviews in both Christian and mainstream media, articles and opinion editorials, speaking and teaching at conferences and other events, the CAFO blog, CAFO's monthly newsletter and other e-information, strategic use of Facebook, Twitter and other social media, videos and other visual media products, phone and in-person meetings with thought leaders, pastors, advocates and other influencers, email and phone responses to a wide range of inquiries, an expansive website, monthly training webinars, and much more. All of these efforts work towards three primary goals: 1) To see more than enough well-supported homes for every child in US foster care, including foster and kinship, adoptive, and restored biological families; and 2) To see Christians and Christian organizations known across the field of OVC care not only for great love, but also for excellence and innovation; 3) To see the local church in every nation rise as the primary answer for the orphans and vulnerable children of that place. 369755 965662 Summit Conference - The annual CAFO Summit has become the hub for the field of Christian service to orphans and vulnerable children worldwide, from US foster care to programs serving children and families worldwide.At the CAFO 2023 Summit, more than 2,000 church leaders, orphan advocates, adoptive and foster parents, veterans of global ministry, and local/national leaders from around the world gathered for training, connection, and inspiration for well-informed, highly-effective ministry. 275806 25792 78651 Global Networks - CAFO Global Networks and the Global Movements Initiative (GMI) invests in emerging leaders worldwide, providing technical support, leadership, training, and more. GMI draws from the resources of the entire CAFO community to serve the church in majority world/developing countries, working toward the day when the local church in every nation is known as the primary answer for the deep needs of orphans and vulnerable children in their midst. 3150777 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 23 0 1 40 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AR CA FL HI MD MA MI MN NH NY NC PA SC TN UT VA WV DC CO NV WA NJ MS WI X X Missionwell LLC co Caryn Ryan 6265780001 222 E Glenarm Street Ste B-2 Pasadena CA 91106 Albert Reyes Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Guckenberger Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Aixa de Lopez Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jerry Haag Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ray V Padron Vice-Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Curtis Yates Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Phil Goad Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Belay Gebru Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Schneider Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jedd Medefind President 40.00 X 237503 0 31891 Tony Mitchell COO 40.00 X 142105 0 4261 379608 0 36152 2 0 1 0 0 3068326 3068326 Registration Revenue 900099 343334 343334 Sponsorship Revenue 900099 312546 312546 Membership Dues 900099 310782 310782 Other Revenue 900099 122252 122252 1088914 202863 202863 51119 45391 5728 5728 4365831 1094642 0 202863 188850 188850 25792 25792 415760 353141 41155 21464 1895028 1613339 179601 102088 59976 41528 15147 3301 182538 157539 21070 3929 163491 132529 21814 9148 76134 76134 227401 147396 73370 6635 46912 15066 30346 1500 26066 18756 6261 1049 137677 115510 21516 651 1097 969 128 137536 105297 29966 2273 114979 106993 6328 1658 13439 13439 8448 460 7988 Meals and Food 65227 58975 6168 84 Printing and Postage 54783 38718 8045 8020 Benefits Paid to and fo 30009 4780 25000 229 Telephone and Communica 21312 17217 3337 758 30617 7922 22674 21 3923072 3150777 609487 162808 1050705 1346788 3657127 3551593 100000 325000 3400 3733 120928 57825 7717 63103 4818949 5290217 147357 42717 370959 504108 518316 546825 X 3791324 4075019 509309 668373 4300633 4743392 4818949 5290217 442759 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1471561 1999032 3511032 3074756 3430083 13486464 1471561 1999032 3511032 3074756 3430083 13486464 1404912 12081552 11209 8730 1427 53304 202863 277533 14367 7804 11427 46105 51119 130822 13894819 3293434 0.86950 0.86380 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4053 4053 0 116875 53772 63103 63103 X 4416806 50975 50975 4365831 0 4365831 3974047 50975 50975 3923072 0 3923072 Part X, Line 2: CAFO has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the finacial statements. 1 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region. 18192 Central America and the Caribbean - Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region. 7000 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region 600 0 0 0 0 0 0 25792 0 25792 Central America and the Caribbean Orphan Care, Advocacy and Public Policy 7000 International Wire 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part I, Line 2: Every grant to an organization has an associated agreement that requires the grantee to either send confirmation of paid itineraries/receipts or a list of expenses to the Director of Global Movements.
