Disciples Today Support
Thanks to everyone who continues to support DT in our mission to connect churches and disciples around the world. Without God’s work through you we would not exist.
2010 Financial Information
Disciples Today is the official media of the International Churches of Christ
Revenue Sources:
Church Support:
1) Donations from 1st world churches = $6 per member per year
2) Donations from 3rd world churches over 500 = $2 per member per year
3) Registration fees from the registrations at ICOC sponsored International Conferences
4) Disciples Today sponsored programs such as the Steps of the Apostles Tour.
Revenues: 2010 Revenues were approximately $294,000
— 69% from church donations
— 22% from fees and services for international conferences
— 9% from various other programs, etc.
Expenses: 2010 Expenses were approximately $278,000
— Two full-time employees
— One part-time business manager
— Three 1099 consultants
— 30 key volunteers providing editorial, production, design, development services, etc.
— 64% of our expenses go towards employee and consultant costs.
— The vast majority of other expenses go to production costs, travel, etc.
— We maintain no office overhead since our work is done globally on the web.
Cash Reserve: We maintain a cash reserve of approximately $100,000
Audit: Our financials are audited annually and filed with the State of Illinois.
Our 990 IRS forms are published annually at www.guidestar.org
The Need: At the urging of our Board and many leaders, we need to hire another staff person to begin training them for expansion and continuation of DToday. Currently 57% of churches participate in DT support. This need can easily be met without raising the per member contribution if more churches will participate.
