Funds appropriated for Campus Ministry are used to facilitate these activities in order to see God's love extended globally in partnership with spiritually vibrant international students. During the year the campus ministry staff, in collaboration with volunteers and churches, organized social, cultural, and spiritual activities that served approximately 1700 international students and scholars on 36 university campuses in the U.S. IFI operations were significantly impacted by COVID-19 shutdowns, thus fewer students were served. 352334 Services to International Students and Scholars - IFI staff and volunteers conduct English Conversation Clubs and provide conversation partners to help international students and scholars and their spouses improve their English speaking and listening skills and help them navigate the complexities of American language and culture. IFI also provides internships for recently graduated, spiritually vibrant international students during their OPT year. IFI finds housing and/or employment for some of these student leaders involved in internships, and takes internationals to conferences about following Jesus to encourage their spiritual growth and develop deeper friendships. (Note, due to Covid-19 shutdowns, these activites were reduced and were carried out using online and virtual methods this fiscal year.) 119238 119238 Sudan School - a former IFI Intern, who is now an IFI employee, serves refugees in Sudan who were displaced from the Nuba mountains due to continual aerial bombardment. The Nuba refugee children are denied access to government schools and medical care. IFI's employee built and began operating a school providing education for these children. The school facility continues to expand gradually, to accommodate more students. In this way funds designated to this service are used to practically show the love of Jesus to a marginalized people. This is one example of how IFI impacts the world through students, formerly served by IFI while in the US, who then return home with a vision to share the love of Jesus. 129648 16032 2251474 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 15 0 false 71 true true true false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false IL IN KY MA VA X X X X Don Hayes 6142942434 1520 Old Henderson Rd Ste 200 Columbus OH 43220 Richard Mendola CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 125326 0 0 Don Hayes CFO 40.00 0.00 X 75800 0 0 T Scott Holahan COO 40.00 0.00 X 46105 0 0 Rick Negley Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mindy Lambert Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sanders Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Wynia Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rod Crane former chair Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan deVries Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Sulc Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hong Frances Teng Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Huang Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Franklin Foulger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 247231 1 false false false 0 78525 123012 2995018 16870 3196555 Campus Ministry 900099 3766 3766 Student Trips 900099 16032 16032 19798 883 883 0 0 76324 86925 -10601 -10601 -16740 6139 0 78525 10759 -10759 0 0 Bank Rewards Program 900099 1841 1841 Event Sponsor Advertising 4500 4500 Every Internat'l Project 900099 38391 38391 1363 1363 46095 3241971 62276 -12240 6139 0 0 119238 119238 0 247231 50130 184568 12533 0 1945948 1564344 202506 179098 0 25312 18605 4500 2207 168186 123815 29675 14696 0 16886 15091 1795 24918 24918 0 3240 3240 0 18888 7616 11235 37 47077 12332 116 34629 42896 21217 11338 10341 58560 43797 9628 5135 0 11565 8716 2701 148 76774 61212 46 15516 0 40426 30550 2237 7639 11510 11510 0 38022 18427 18031 1564 13445 3752 9693 Hospitality & Meals 77660 71818 588 5254 Banking Fees 34993 21987 12994 12 Ministry Events and Activities 31829 31699 108 22 Repairs and Maintenance 19120 12797 6323 15253 14331 102 820 3088977 2251474 544612 292891 224390 284977 1030245 1121168 0 6123 3554 0 0 0 0 37463 41732 1343653 155050 1209906 1188603 0 0 0 0 0 2508127 2640034 49659 65703 287174 261228 10000 81990 80393 428823 407324 X 2077574 2215910 1730 16800 2079304 2232710 2508127 2640034 X 152994 412 X false true X true false X 2077380 2448412 2814006 3218359 3318975 13877132 0 0 2077380 2448412 2814006 3218359 3318975 13877132 0 13877132 395 6016 18865 5916 883 32075 0 0 13909207 0.99770 0.99740 X 113255 113255 1082754 76823 1005931 147644 78227 69417 1188603 Accrued Expenses & Liabilities 80393 80393 3339655 97684 97684 3241971 3241971 3186661 97684 97684 3088977 3088977 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Net Rental Expense with Income $86925 Net Schedule G Banquet Expenses $10759 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Rental Expense included in Income $86925 Banquet Exp shown on Schedule G $10759 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 1 Children's Ministry Provide Education 119238 1 1 119238 119238 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Regular reports are made by the IFI employee in East Africa, including receipts for expenses.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Changes in IFI Operations due to COVID-19 during 2020 and extending into 2021 - The United States and many individual States where IFI serves students declared a state of emergency in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the state of emergency declarations, universities and religious organizations were shut down. IFIs operations are directly impacted through their programs at universities and religious organizations. While many face-to-face activities ceased abruptly, many of IFIs activities were able to continue using digital means. IFI campus ministers and volunteers have been creatively connecting with students through social media and personally while practicing safe social distancing. Some program costs, such as travel and hospitality meals, were reduced due to the emergency measures. Partly successful livestream fundraising events and student activities have been conducted and IFI made appropriate changes to adjust to the current pandemic environment. During summer of 2021 some restrictions were eased and certain in-person events and activities restarted. Additional financial impact of COVID-19 and the ensuing emergency measures on IFIs operations cannot be fully determined at this time.

Other Changes In Net Assets Or Fund Balances - Other Increases Gain on disposal of assets = $412 Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1e - Government grants (contributions) PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM AND ECONOMIC INJURY LOAN ADVANCE On April 20, 2020 IFI received a Paycheck Protection Program PPP loan of $381,700 granted by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act CARES Act. IFI considers PPP loans as conditional contributions, with a right-of return in the form of an obligation to be repaid if a barrier to entitlement is not met. The barrier was that PPP loan funds must be used to maintain compensation costs and employee headcount, and other qualifying expenses mortgage interest, rent and utilities incurred following receipt of the funds. IFI recognized $371,700 as contribution revenue when qualified expenses occurred since those were the barriers to entitlement and were met in April, May and June 2020. Application for forgiveness of the full loan was made on October 2, 2020, with inclusion of compliance substantiation and certification therein. On November 28, 2020 the SBA notified IFI that the final forgiveness principal amount was $371,700 plus accrued interest. The unforgiven principal portion of $10,000 was to be repaid over a 17-month period with interest at 1 per annum, beginning December 15, 2020. IFI began making the payments and then the SBA rules were changed allowing IFI to be fully forgiven for the additional $10,000. IFI recognized this $10,000 as a contribution in February 2021. In addition to the PPP loan discussed above, on April 24, 2020, IFI received $10,000 from the SBA under provisions of the CARES Act that enabled the SBA to provide advances on an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). The EIDL advance did not need to be repaid if IFI used the proceeds for certain qualifying business expenses, similar to the PPP loan. IFI used the $10,000 for qualifying expenses over and above the PPP loan proceeds. Thus, IFI recognized this as contribution revenue, with the barrier met, upon spending the funds appropriately. The SBA specifically noted in their initial communication of forgiveness related to the PPP loan that IFIs use of the $10,000 EIDL resulted in that same amount being unforgiven of the PPP loan. The rules were then changed and IFI was fully forgiven for the amounts borrowed under the PPP, as explained above. Additionally, unconditional contributions were received in October and December 2020 from the State of Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation at the request of the Governor of Ohio. Form 990, Part X, Line 24 - Unsecured notes and loans payable As more completely explained above in the Form 990 Schedule O note titled "Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1e - Government grants (contributions)," the $10,000 unforgiven principal portion of the Paycheck Protection Program loan was to be repaid over a 17-month period with interest at 1 per annum, beginning December 15, 2020. IFI began making the payments and then the SBA rules were changed allowing IFI to be fully forgiven for the additional $10,000. IFI recognized this $10,000 as a contribution in February 2021 and removed it from the liability account balance.
