DescLegal Advocacy: Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is an alliance-building legal organization that advocates for the right of people to freely live out their faith. ADF champions God-given freedoms that allow for human flourishing while affirming the dignity of every person. ADF exists to facilitate an alliance of like-minded influencers from every sphere of the public square affecting law and culture, and to mobilize this alliance to protect the core values of religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family. ADF offers exceptional legal advocacy and expertise through our more than 60 attorneys based in Arizona, Georgia, Washington D.C., New York City and around the world. Together with a network of 3,200-strong allied attorneys, ADF has a nearly 80% success rate in our cases, and has won nine Supreme Court victories in the past seven years.ADF works with over 1,000 allied organizations to create effective strategies for establishing critical legal precedents to preserve religious liberty in state courts, federal courts, and the Supreme Court, as well as international courts and governing bodies including the European Court of Human Rights and The United Nations.ADF serves our network of allies by providing training, coordination, funding, legal expertise, and litigation services in support of our allied attorneys, church and parachurch organization leaders, legislators and legislative staff members, business leaders, clients, student leaders, and other key allies.Desc

DescAllied Support and Training: As an alliance-building legal organization that advocates for the right of people to freely live out their faith, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is committed to equipping allies to defend and promote religious liberty to the best of their ability, and to transform law and culture so true freedom can flourish. To this end, ADF offers world-class training for Christian attorneys and professionals, for law students, and for college students interested in pursuing a career in law, public policy, government, business, and other culture-shaping fields. Through the ADF Summit on Religious Liberty, practicing attorneys, legal advocates, business leaders, entrepreneurs, clergy, policy leaders, and media leaders are invited to participate in world-class training, strategy, and networking sessions around the world. More than 2,042 U.S. and international attorneys have completed the ADF Religious Liberty Summit Training, and 3,226 ADF allied attorneys have volunteered pro bono legal advocacy services to local and international communities valued at over $212 million. This amount is far in excess of the cost of the program. Most U.S. state bars accept accreditation for portions of the legal advocacy training with Continuing Legal Education credit. Through the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, ADF provides training to top Christian law students from around the world on natural law, constitutional jurisprudence, and the history of religious liberty - subjects that currently suffer much neglect in prominent law programs across the United States and internationally. The Blackstone Legal Fellowship equips these students to adhere to the practice of their faith in the legal profession, an arena often hostile to Christianity. The program consists of courses taught by prominent lecturers, internships around the world with some of ADF's most influential allied partners, and professional career placement services. To date, 2,122 students have graduated from the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, representing 227 law schools.ADF offers a similar training through the Arete Academy to college and university students who seek to live out their faith in the fields of law, government, public policy, and business. To date, more than 800 students from top colleges and universities worldwide have participated in Arete Academy, many of whom go on to attend the Blackstone Legal Fellowship during law school. The Academy equips students with character, competence, and credentials to excel in their chosen field.Desc

DescPublic education: ADF provides information to the public regarding the importance of government recognition of freedom of religion, the sanctity of every human life, and the values of marriage and family in the United States and throughout the world. This is done through the use of printed materials, mailings, email alerts, websites, blogs, op-eds, social media, webinars, media and personal appearances, and events. The intent of ADF public education is to inform and raise awareness of the following: The intent of the founders of the constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights to reflect natural law; entities that seek to distort or repurpose the Constitution's original meaning; U.S. and international challenges to religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and family values; and how and where civil liberties have been jeopardized or thwarted and the efforts of ADF and its allies to reclaim those freedoms. ADF public education efforts also serve to recruit potential allies and to highlight the advocacy work of the alliance in order to position ourselves to serve as the first line of defense for individuals and organizations whose religious freedom is at risk. ADF also requests that the recipients of these educational communications remember its activities in prayer and provides information and details to assist them in intentional and purposeful prayer.Desc

DescGrants and Funding: ADF provides grant funding for legal cases and programs that keep the door open for the Gospel by advocating for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family. This grant funding covers expenses for litigation, including training for expert witnesses and acquiring strong amicus brief support for our cases to ensure the best possibility of success. Grant requests are reviewed and recommended by an independent grants and review committee, which is comprised of expert volunteer attorneys. Under the governing Board of Director's policy, no grant is awarded until it is fully funded and set aside in self-designated accounts. Grants are disbursed upon performance and in accordance with the terms of the grant agreements. As of this writing, ADF has issued more than 3,200 grants totaling over $48 million.Desc

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bThe organization does not have any committees that have authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. Upon completion, the organization's Finance Team reviews the Form 990 through the following process: 1) The CFO and Controller compare the Form 990 to the annual corporate audit and internal financial reports. The CEO then reads the Form 990 for content and clarity. 2) The CFO assigns the Controller and his team to review content, check math totals, and check spelling. 3) Following the above review, the Form 990 is distributed to: A. CEO B. Chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) which is responsible for oversight of finance, audit, and tax matters. C. The Chair of the FAC ensures committee members review the Form 990 for material edits and compliance. D. Upon acceptance and approval, the Chairman of the FAC then instructs the CFO to sign and file the 990, and post it on the Board website so the full Board can view the 990. Based on the FAC's recommendation, the Board approves and accepts the 990 at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. 4) Changes and corrections from the above are addressed at each step. 5) Following the above, the CFO signs and instructs the Form 990 to be filed with the IRS. 6) Upon filing with the IRS, ADF's Form 990 is available for public inspection and distribution to the state governing bodies, foundations, and other requesting entities.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe conflict of interest policy covers any Director, Principal Officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegating powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest. The organization also conducts periodic reviews to ensure operations are consistent with its charitable purposes. Directors shall report possible conflicts of interest to the Chairman of the Board of Directors prior to any action on the transaction by the organization. Upon report of a possible conflict, the Board of Directors shall conduct an investigation and determine whether a conflict of interest does exist and whether it is substantial. If the Board determines that a substantial conflict of interest exists, the interested individual shall not vote on the transaction presenting the conflict. The interested individual may vote only if the Board determines that no conflict exists or the conflict is not substantial. No investigation or determination by the Board shall be required if the interested individual voluntarily agrees to refrain from voting on the transaction presenting the potential conflict of interest. The interested individual may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. The remaining Board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The minutes of the governing Board and all committees with Board delegated powers shall contain: A. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the governing Board's or Committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed. B. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceeding.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15Alliance Defending Freedom maintains a compensation system. CEO compensation is set by the organization's independent Board, and the CEO's compensation is in accordance with the ADF compensation system. Job descriptions are evaluated against independent market sources and compensation data as provided by independent third party resource providers. The management compensation committee approves position grades and pay ranges of all other positions. Annually, ADF also prepares compensation data for the Board's Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with the IRS recommended "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" process to substantiate the compensation of ADF key employees. The FAC reviews and approves key employee compensation once a year. The ADF Comp Team (comprised of the CFO, COO, and Director of HR) review benchmark data provided by Payscale, Mercer, and other compensation resources to determine the appropriate compensation for all positions in accordance with the ADF compensation philosophy. Compensation above the 60th percentile but less than the 75th percentile of a pay grade requires that the CEO be informed; at or above the 75th percentile requires CEO approval; and above the maximum of the grade requires Board approval. Discussions, decisions, and approvals are recorded in writing, typically via e-mail. This compensation review process last occurred in 2017.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization's audited financial statements and Form 990 are available on its website. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9:Gain on foreign currency translation 8,620.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of its independent accountant. This process has not changed since the prior year.
