The organization provides both material resources (food, medicine, etc.) and cash grants for medical treatment, education, nutrition, shelter, water projects, self-help programs, and care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Cross also engages in relief and recovery efforts in response to disasters such as earthquakes, floods and typhoons. From July 2018 to June 2019, Cross International distributed aid in 14 countries. 7 7 105 17 0 0 104358686 86339696 178087 155070 0 0 -2693 71604 104534080 86566370 98266854 80963063 0 0 1970381 1522528 43427 51774 1802927 3805648 3774371 104086310 86311736 447770 254634 5109153 5608470 545993 774061 4563160 4834409 X (See Schedule O for description.)Cross International channels resources such as food, medicines and educational materials to the poor through a network of Christian churches and ministries already in place within impoverished communities. In this way, Cross International can cost-effectively help the poor while empowering the evangelical outreaches of the Christian leaders it assists. Cross also gives these overseas churches and ministries financial grants to access local resources, which in turn helps local economies. 0 0 80245874 78316913 0 Focus on Medical: (See Schedule O for description.)From July 2018 to June 2019, Cross International medical aid focused on needs in six countries: Malawi, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. This outreach has had a wide-ranging impact. For example, Cross shipped medical goods to Guatemalan ministry partner Friends for Health and Life for distribution among free community medical clinics as well as hospitals that use these needed medicines to treat the poor. In another case, Cross supported the Friendy Hand Foundation in El Salvador with medical supplies and medicines, which were distributed throughout a distribution network of 20 different medical institutions that includes hospitals, rural clinics and remote medical brigades. Ministry partners such as these rely on Cross donations to keep their medicine shelves stocked, their equipment up-to-date and their professional staff employed. By equipping hospitals, clinics, home healthcare and medical outreach programs with resources necessary to provide services to their communities, Cross helps thousands of families who would otherwise go without quality medical care. 1943392 1896677 0 Focus on Food: (See Schedule O for description.)Fighting malnutrition and feeding children are priorities for Cross International. In keeping with this mission, the Organization gave monetary or material aid to feeding programs in nine countries including Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, Nicaragua, Peru, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic. Many food shipments were specifically earmarked for distribution to children, who are vulnerable to long-term developmental effects from chronic malnutrition. One of the best ways to get food into the mouths of the hungry has been to partner with schools in developing countries. A large percentage of Cross International's nutritional aid was sent in the form of "Vitafood," prepackaged, nutrient-rich meals that are easy to cook and serve and are scientifically developed to meet the needs of malnourished children. Additionally, locally purchased food, including vegetables and culturally appropriate foods, are priorities with our programs. 274015 267428 0 Focus on Housing: (See Schedule O for description.)From July 2018 to June 2019, Cross International supported housing programs in five countries: Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Malawi and Vietnam. These efforts involved, for example, the funding of Rainbow Network, a Christian charity in Nicaragua that builds safe, durable houses for families who would otherwise have to live in crude, dirt-floor shelters built from whatever scraps they can find. In Guatemala, a Christian charity built homes for families what were living in severe poverty that were identified after rescuing their children from malnutrition. 493918 482045 155070 4d Additional Program Services - OrphansCross International responded to the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in 11 countries: Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guyana, Guatemala, Haiti, Lesotho, Malawi, Nicaragua, Uganda, Zambia and El Salvador. Efforts in Haiti have brought nutritious food, safe shelter and a quality Christian education to children who would otherwise live in squalor. And in Nicaragua, our supporting partner provides a safe home for court-appointed children that have suffered from domestic abuse, sexual abuse and abandonment. With our support, these children receive professional counsel, daily Christian devotions, shelter, education and a future.4d Additional Program Services - EducationCross International provided education support in seven countries: Ecuador, Haiti, Guatemala, Malawi, Nicaragua, Peru and Uganda. Although educational opportunities are technically offered by the governments in many developing countries, the quality of those services is often substandard, and the education is not really free because the schools charge small fees which are too high for poor parents to pay. Government-run schools may also require students to purchase supplies and uniforms that many families cannot afford. As a result of these costs, dropout rates are enormous. To reverse this trend, Cross International partners with Christian schools and education outreaches that focus on meeting the needs of poor children who would otherwise be left behind. With Cross' support, these schools have provided a quality education at minimal or no cost to the students. 4d Additional Program Services - Water ProjectsFrom July 2018 to June 2019, Cross International funded water projects in four countries: Haiti, Malawi, Vietnam and Zambia. For example, we partnered with the Kachere Development Program to install clean water wells in rural Zambian villages where children and families were suffering constant illness from drinking disease-infested water from hand-dug ditches. The results of such projects are dramatic. As clean water becomes more readily available, waterborne illnesses decrease and women no longer need to walk long distances to fetch small amounts of water from contaminated rivers. By establishing new sources of safe water that can serve communities for years to come, Cross International's projects are saving lives.4d Additional Program Services - ShippingCross International's shipping program uses monetary donations to transport and distribute donated goods that meet the exempt purpose of providing food, providing clothing, providing medicine, facilitating medical treatment, providing water, facilitating clean water, providing housing, facilitating housing development, facilitating self-help programs, facilitating education programs and/or addressing needs in a disaster relief and recovery situation. Through this approach, a donor's contribution can be multiplied ten times or more, as it places goods valued higher than the donation amount into the hands of the poor by the ministries serving them. Another benefit of shipping goods rather than sending funds is that Cross can provide crucial medicines and medical supplies that are not locally available physically or financially. This support keeps hospitals and clinics stocked with the needed resources so doctors do not have to turn away patients untreated. From July 2018 to June 2019, Cross shipped goods to churches and ministries in six countries: the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Lesotho and Nicaragua.4d Additional Program Services - General Support & Disaster ReliefCross International is uniquely positioned to help overseas ministries with their specific or unexpected needs. Cross' targeted responses enable ministry partners to obtain a specific resource quickly and effectively, allowing them to continue their work without disruption. In response to the volcano eruption, Cross assisted with providing emergency housing and supplies to 227 families in Guatemala. In another case, Cross provided immediate assistance to assess and develop a response plan to an area in Southern Malawi affected by Cyclone Idai. 4d Additional Program Services - Mission EducationCross International's overall mission includes educating Christians in the United States about the needs of the poor overseas and highlighting a biblical basis for responding to that poverty. This is important to the Organization's goal of developing stronger relationships between the church in the U.S. and the church in the developing world. Cross achieved this goal by communicating directly to American Christians through Christian radio. The ministry's radio presentations were made to the public on radio stations throughout the country. Along with conventional radio, Cross International also educates through satellite radio, speakers, musical performances, events, online promotions, mailed materials and other forms of communication.4d Additional Program Services - Project DevelopmentIn order to ensure the proper use of donated funds and goods, Cross International regularly monitors and meets with overseas partners. Field officers made regular visits to these ministries, reviewing requests for assistance, monitoring the use of previous gifts and providing professional assistance with accounting or project development issues. These project development services have helped Cross partners grow more effectively, provide a better outreach to the poor and maintain greater stability in the community. 493918 482045 155070 82957199 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 7 0 1 105 1 0 1 HA 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI LA ME MD MA MI MN MS ND NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI KY KS X X X Kelly Miller 9546579000 600 SW 3rd Street Suite 2201 Pompano Beach FL 33060 Jimmy Dodd Chairman/Director 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Joe White Secretary/Director 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Darrell Borne Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Eissey III Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Mark Montoney Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cedric Wade Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Will Walton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Cavnar President/CEO (ended 7/18) 7.00 X 18564 0 528 Kelly Miller President/CEO (began 10/18) 7.00 X 42431 0 0 Reggie Alexis CFO (began 12/18) 7.00 X 9615 0 0 70610 0 528 0 0 0 0 RMT Logistics 311 NW South River Drive Miami FL 33128 Shipping services 364741 RWT Production LLC 8932 Orange Hunt Lane Annandale VA 22003 Printing & mailing services 256032 Merkle Response Services Inc 100 Jamison Court Hagerstown MD 21740 Marketing Services 119380 3 7676 77957 86254063 79522724 86339696 Shipping Reimbursement 624200 147070 147070 GIK Service Fee 624200 8000 8000 155070 20443 77957 4507 15936 15936 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 55668 55668 55668 86566370 155070 0 71604 80963063 80963063 236877 34854 202023 1008622 309396 432488 266738 189184 60024 82651 46509 87845 26396 40942 20507 45375 45375 51774 51774 59658 10806 42216 6636 116178 1077 115101 1005843 455399 240681 309763 14000 30 13970 135450 48995 86455 243969 91255 27886 124828 8420 8420 33788 33788 Airtime 1570092 785046 785046 Miscellaneous 377757 162635 146857 68265 Data Processing 154541 146781 7760 Product acquisition fee 9300 9300 86311736 82957199 1551610 1802927 X 1570092 785046 0 785046 538063 692778 27174 64816 4029598 4245536 48623 104332 342988 305928 18362 37060 447333 463948 5109153 5608470 145993 429730 0 0 400000 344331 545993 774061 X 4330160 4343967 233000 490442 4563160 4834409 5109153 5608470 254634 16615 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 92831136 92865285 63300599 104358686 86339696 439695402 92831136 92865285 63300599 104358686 86339696 439695402 439695402 6120 51477 76111 133708 439829110 723405 0.99970 0.98470 X Part II, Section A & B, Column (D): The Organization is reporting in column (c) information for the short period January 1 through June 30, 2017.

Form 990, Part V, Line 2a: The Organization acts as a common paymaster for employees of the Organization, Cross Catholic Outreach, Inc. (an affiliated nonprofit organization which operates cooperatively with the Organization but is not "related" to the Organization for Form 990 reporting purposes), and another unrelated nonprofit ministry. The number of employees reported on this Form 990 only reflects those individuals who provided services directly to the Organization as an employee of the Organization. Likewise, this Form 990 only reflects the amount of wages paid to such employees for services provided to the Organization. As a result of this common paymaster arrangement, the number of employees and the amount of wages paid to employees as reported on this Form 990 are lower than the amounts reported on the Organization's Form W-3, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees who provide a disclosure statement. Such disclosure statement indicates that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, or (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy. The Organization's President is tasked with obtaining updated disclosure statements from each Board member annually. Any previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation of the President is set by three members of the Board of Directors who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the President. This independent committee utilizes comparability data compiled by an independent compensation consultant in its deliberations, and contemporaneously substantiates its deliberations and decisions. The President is responsible for setting the compensation of the Organization's other key executives. In setting such compensation, the President utilizes comparability data compiled by an independent compensation consultant, and contemporaneously substantiates his decisions. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization makes its financial statements and its Form 990 available to the public through the Organization's website. Financial statements and Form 990 are available by mail upon request. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year. An audit of the Organization's financial statements is conducted annually by an independent certified public accounting firm, which has resulted in the issuance of an unqualified opinion. In addition, the Organization is a fully accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and, as such, subscribes to ECFA's Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship addressing: (1) operation in conformity with the Organization's evangelical Christian doctrinal statement, (2) oversight by a Board of Directors, the majority of which are independent, (3) submission of complete, accurate, audited financial statements, (4) proper management and financial controls over the use of the Organization's resources, (5) public availability of the Organization's current financial statements upon written request, (6) avoidance of conflicts of interest, and (7) responsible, truthful fund-raising practices.
