Sojourners articulates a strong moral and religious imperative behind more just and responsible policies.

Our digital publication is among the most read Christian social justice publications. 5 million people from more than 220 countries and territories visited Sojourners' website in the last year.

Sojourners is bringing people together--even across traditional political and theological divides--to find real solutions to some of the most significant concerns of our time. Our focus on the common good and finding common ground based on shared values allows us to transcend the usual ideological debates. In FY18, our key issues included poverty and inequalities, women and girls, racial justice, war and peace, immigration reform, welcoming refugees, and the environment, among other concerns. 479432 46632 Education Resources: The Sojourners Fellowship Program currently in its 35th year is a yearlong educational program that combines full-time jobs in our office with an opportunity to live in an intentional Christian community. Fellows work throughout Sojourners, helping staff lead actions, vigils, protests, and our annual Summit. They have the opportunity to write for our online and print publications. Between eight and ten fellows are selected into the program each year. Sojourners also sells and provides educational resources. All resources are mission-related. We create and distribute faith-based educational materials about poverty, the environment, racial justice, interfaith understanding, women and girls, war and peace, and a range of other issues. Resources are available on our website sojo.net. 479432 46632 4407288 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 61 0 1 59 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AZ CT FL IL KY MD MI MS NM OH RI UT WI DC AK KS MA MO NY OK VA NH NC OR SC WA AK GA ME MN NJ ND PA TN WV CA CO DE GU HI ID IN IA MT LA NE NV PR SD TX VT VI WY X Sojourners 2023288842 408 C Street NE Washington DC 20002 Wes Granberg-Michaelson Board Chair 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Alexie Torres Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Adam Taylor Former Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Colin Watson Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter Borgdorff Former Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Carnahan Secretary 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Onleilove Alston Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Louise Coggins Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Joseph Daniels Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Tim Dixon Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Peggy Flanagan Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Anne Grizzle Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Derrick Harkins leave of absence Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Betsy Hoover Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Kathy Khang Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Hana Kim Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Rick Little Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jo Anne Lyon Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Lynn Muto leave of absence Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Stephen Schneck Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Cheryl Bridges Johns Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Barbara Williams Skinner Director 0.30 X 0 0 0 Jim Wallis President, Founder & Editor-in-Chief 35.00 X X 203978 0 46065 Rob Wilson-Black Chief Executive Officer 35.00 X 192941 0 6244 Michael Norman VP & Chief Financial Officer 35.00 X 111750 0 456 508669 0 52765 3 0 1 0 0 3634438 220281 3634438 Publications 541800 816455 658596 157859 Registration revenue 900099 108313 108313 Honoraria 900099 46650 46650 Resource center sales 900099 46632 46632 1018050 24452 24452 1276123 1245098 534 31025 -534 30491 30491 Online advertising 900004 217996 217996 217996 4925427 860191 375855 54943 2000 2000 500 500 584206 439858 71199 73149 2112777 1585124 263748 263905 32300 25168 2991 4141 490655 382323 45433 62899 66287 750 65537 8137 8137 340732 243729 89207 7796 65696 63451 2245 521314 311013 89912 120389 135009 86009 15513 33487 233905 81396 152509 158683 130756 2996 24931 208780 203500 2594 2686 138997 138997 16195 16195 Publications 180385 180385 Dues & subscriptions 14414 12231 2183 Training/recruitment 4711 1733 2123 855 Allocated costs 0 657362 -766637 109275 8894 8005 889 5324577 4407288 208459 708830 280684 284932 703976 23108 686521 815824 51382 14918 59951 36224 4899815 262368 4761392 4637447 780716 740324 180887 202511 7505509 6755288 397240 468021 680893 602133 3575921 3210149 294428 255989 4948482 4536292 X 2074494 1471410 482533 747586 2557027 2218996 7505509 6755288 -399150 61119 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3112426 3293956 4448779 5094112 3634438 19583711 3112426 3293956 4448779 5094112 3634438 19583711 3670266 15913445 211347 121264 19795 15084 24452 391942 38 4876 2294 8695 15903 19991556 4498330 0.79600 0.77100 X 51691 3047 54738 5270373 5325111 416256 104064 0 0 360610 380782 384878 416256 1542526 2313789 5066 2972 14834 54738 77610 90153 95196 96220 104064 385633 578450 5066 1853 12907 51691 71517 955400 955400 2419600 117407 2302193 1360833 64286 1296547 163982 80675 83307 4637447 Annuity obligations 9368 Deferred benefit plan obligations 109069 Lease exit liability 99500 Capital lease liability 38052 255989 X 4978943 61119 -8137 52982 4925961 -534 -534 4925427 5316974 534 534 5316440 8137 8137 5324577 Part X, Line 2: For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, Sojourners has determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

This package includes certain home office expenses and other allowances detailed in the employment agreement. All of these items are grossed up for taxes and are included in the federal form W2 of the officer. Part I, Line 1b The maximum amount for each allowance is documented in the employment agreement with a specific accounting project code assigned to each allowance. All payment/reimbursements of these allowances are coded with the appropriate code and recorded in the accounting system. Taxable fringe benefits are added to the Dec 15 payroll each year and thus reflected on the W2. Part II, Line 1: Please see Schedule O, Part VI, for more about the executive compensation process. The following important points should also be noted: 1. For more than 40 years, 100% of the Honoria from each and every one of Jim Wallis's speaking engagements has gone, not to Jim Wallis himself, but directly from the hosting organization to Sojourners. This Sojourners revenue, generated by Jim Wallis's speaking engagements, sustains our work and makes a major six-figure contribution to our revenue year after year. 2.Over 44 years of working at Sojourners, Wallis's salary averaged near subsistence level, for many years far less than other members of his organization by design, and far less than the honoraria revenue he generated year after year. 3. The standards the board chose for all Sojourners organizational salaries are based on comparable market rates in Washington, DC for non-profit organizations based on position, size of organization, and years of experience. 4. Only in the past few years, with Wallis in his sixties, did the Sojourners board decide it wanted to increase his salary to compensate for years of underpayment and to create a basic retirement plan for him and his family. 5. The board also noted that the value of Jim's public profile, global credibility, and access to many leaders in public life is priceless. 6. As required by law, total compensation reported here includes, among other things, the cost of health insurance (an employer-paid benefit provided to all Sojourner's staff), and contributions for retirement and life insurance. Jim's actual salary for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2018 was $195,000. X 6 220281 Fair value 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Sojourners engages a certified public accountant to prepare the federal form 990. The federal form 990 is reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer and the return is signed, after review, by another officer of the corporation. Prior to filing the form 990, a PDF version of the return is sent to all board members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Key employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors are required to review the Conflict of Interest policy and acknowledge that they have done so in writing to the organization. Annually, each of the above individuals must complete a disclosure form identifying any potential relationships, positions, or circumstances in which the individual, member of their family, or an organization in which the individual serves as an owner, officer, or director is involved that he or she believes could contribute to a conflict of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The salary and benefits of the President are reviewed annually by an independent committee of the Board of Directors based on market data for similar positions in the Washington DC area. The committee meets in executive session and therefore no minutes are maintained for these meetings. However, the decisions reached by the compensation committee are memorialized in a compensation agreement between the organization and the President which details all compensation and fringe benefits to be received in the upcoming year. Key employees and compensated officers of the corporation are subject to the salary administration system of the organization as are all other employees. The salary ranges for each position were determined through market based salary surveys for nonprofits of similar size and scope. Employees' pay is maintained within these market based ranges and subject to annual review and with a possibility of merit increase. Salary administration is managed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President for Human Resources. All salary decisions are documented in the employees personnel file. Please see Schedule J, Part III, for more about executive compensation details Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Not made available to the public.
