The unique approach of the Wildfire food pantry allowed clients to have individual attention and appointments for receiving food assistance, rather than waiting in long lines and just feeling like another number or statistic. The pantry also weekly supplied 2 different ministries that directly distribute meals and supply bags to people in the greater San Antonio community currently experiencing homelessness. Because of some health crises for the mission leader, receipts and distributions were down from the previous year. All food was received from the general public, local grocery and food manufacturers, and as in-kind donations and then distributed directly to people in the community. 87874 6346 190959 At the end of 2023, 23 missions comprised the Wildfire Network. They raised a total of $190,959 in 2023 and spent $87,874 throughout the year. Each mission does meaningful work in their area of focus, here we will highlight one new program that was implemented in 2023: The Wildfire Cohort. The Wildfire Cohort was developed and deployed by the central leadership team to scale the capacity of our relational impact network to incorporate and incubate new missions. In 2023, it was rolled out as a 12 week course, with required attendance for 3 hours per week and additional homework assignments for participants. Through the Wildfire Cohort - Participating individuals were provided foundational ministry start up training and 12 new missions joined the Wildfire Network this year as a result, including Christ Coalition, Along the Way, Ruth's Home for Children, the Kingdom Healthcare System, and others. 66572 4179 109891 Wildfire provided a variety of Network Services to support the ministries that are formally connected to the network. This is our term for the amalgamation of central leadership services that our core team provides: including but not limited to - strategy consulting, life coaching, pastoral counseling, mediation, spiritual leadership and development, financial management, and access to coworking facilities. At the end of 2023 the network was comprised of 23 official missions. We provided these missions with free access to financial and administrative services, coaching, training, and media consulting. For example, one of the missions that incubated within the network, T.H.U.G.G.I.N. For Christ, was able to form its own board, establish its own non-profit org, and raise funding to open a residential recovery/transition home for young men ages 18-24 as a direct result of coaching services and network access facilitated through Wildfire Network Services, including services provided by the financial services team for donor processing, documentation training, and budgeting consulting. 0 0 0 530013 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 TX X Laura Baxter 2109714452 4411 Walzem Rd Ste 208 San Antonio TX 78218 Chris Taylor Rogers President, Executive Director 40 0 X 54247 0 0 Gabrielle Michelle Leonard Secretary, Director, Coaching & Training Director 40 0 X 13748 0 0 Thomas Anthony Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Stacy Gaskins Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Ashley Elizabeth Rogers Vice President, Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Rafael Marfil Treasurer, Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 67995 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 671976 375567 671976 20 20 0 0 20 0 0 0 0 4421 0 0 4421 4421 0 0 676417 20 4421 0 1575 1575 4950 4950 4000 4000 0 0 67994 50234 13673 4087 0 0 0 0 41788 14578 26821 389 0 0 0 0 826 826 0 0 8462 434 8028 0 0 0 0 0 4732 4732 0 0 7300 0 7300 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12511 5877 6634 0 363 363 0 0 19707 10494 9203 10 867 0 867 0 0 0 0 0 28119 13358 14761 0 2478 321 2157 0 0 0 0 0 8449 3408 5041 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 510 510 0 0 4533 2877 1656 0 In-Kind Distributions 375567 375567 0 0 Direct Ministry Supplies 23100 23100 0 0 Ministry Support 12809 12809 0 0 630640 530013 96141 4486 146992 200694 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6100 1385 5225 4715 0 0 0 0 5847 746 158064 206155 -400 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 898 2712 498 2812 X 0 0 0 0 157566 203343 157566 203343 158064 206155 45777 X 0 0 0 X 126497 203373 628417 348891 676397 1983575 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 126497 203373 628417 348891 676397 1983575 1983575 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1983575 4441 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6100 0 1385 4715 4715 Credit Cards Payable 2712 2712 X 114 375567 Sale of comperable property 0 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The Vice President, Ashley Rogers, is married to the President and Executive Director of the Wildfire Network, Chris Taylor Rogers. Because of this, the board made sure that the majority of the members were non family members, and the three remaining board members do not have a family or business relationship with any other board member. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b As of 2023 there were no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing board, therefore no documentation for such committees was kept on file. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Finance Department and the Executive Director work alongside one another to complete the 990 form and the necessary schedules. Once completed, the Finance Department emails a pdf copy to all of the board members for reviewal. Once the majority of the remaining board members have sent confirmation of receipt of the 990 and its reviewal, the Finance Department & Executive Director discuss and make and any necessary adjustments submitted by the board. Once the adjustments have been made and the form is ready for submission, the Finance Department e-files the return with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c During December of 2023 all board members were sent a digital copy of the conflict of interest policy and each docu-signed a copy of it to be kept on file. If there are any conflicts, those are disclosed at the last meeting of the year, however there were no conflicts of interest for any of the board members during 2023. This is a part of the annual end of year board procedures to review and sign a copy of the conflict of interest policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 At the end of each year, as part of the budgeting process, all staff salaries are reviewed and upon approval, are adjusted for the following year. The Executive Director approves all other staff members salary changes besides his own. Once the Finance Department and Executive Director have both agreed that a salary change needs to be made to the Executive Director's salary, he submits a request to the board for a change of salary. If all remaining board members agree to the salary adjustment, the Finance Department makes the necessary adjustments for the following year. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 For access to all governing documents, the Wildfire Network discloses these upon request from the interested party. Financial statements from previous years and our Whistle Blower policy are on the footer of our main webpage www.wildfire.church via the "Make a Report" option.
