Mission

It is the mission of Arizona Faith and Families to recruit foster and adoptive parents from within the Christian church, to train and license them within a biblical world view, and to equip them to serve their Savior, home, church, and community. In order for this mission statement to be carried out successfully, Arizona Faith and Families is committed to a foundation of prayer and biblical guidance throughout the licensing process. As Christians, prayer and the Bible should be the primary resources to guide us from beginning to end. Arizona Faith and Families is not an agency that is Christian in name only, but one that explicitly incorporates our faith into the process. Arizona Faith and Families seeks to partner with like-minded individuals who will further the organization's religious purpose and beliefs through speech and conduct.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
