FORM 990 PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	GROUNDED IN THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES OF LOVING GOD AND HUMANITY, THE CHRISTOPHERS ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. WE DO SO THROUGH ALL FORMS OF MEDIA (RADIO, VIDEO, WEB, PRINT); DONATIONS OF OUR LITERATURE TO PRISON MINISTRIES AROUND THE COUNTRY; A SYNDICATED NEWSPAPER COLUMN; AN ANNUAL AWARDS PROGRAM FOR BOOKS, FILMS, AND TV PROGRAMS THAT AFFIRM THE HIGHEST VALUES OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT; AN ANNUAL BOOK OF DAILY STORIES AND PRAYERFUL REFLECTIONS; CONTESTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS; LEADERSHIP COURSES FOR ADULTS AND TEENS; AND PUBLIC TALKS. THE CHRISTOPHERS' FOUNDER, FATHER JAMES KELLER, M.M., BELIEVED THAT EACH PERSON HAS A GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE TO FULFILL, A PARTICULAR JOB THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN DO. HE ASSERTED THAT MOST OF THE WORLD'S ILLS WERE CAUSED BY ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION, SO HE CALLED ON ANOTHER ONE PERCENT - AND IDEALLY, EVEN MORE - TO RISE UP AND BECOME A FORCE FOR GOOD, ESPECIALLY IN FIELDS LIKE MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT, PUBLIC SERVICE, AND EDUCATION. FATHER KELLER WROTE, "ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO CURE A STARVING PATIENT IS TO BUILD HIM UP WITH NOURISHING FOOD; THE BEST WAY TO CURE THIS DISEASE IN OUR SOCIETY IS TO BUILD UP SOCIETY ITSELF WITH GOOD IDEAS AND IDEALS...TO BE A CHRIST-BEARER MUST MEAN SACRIFICE, LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, SUFFERING, MISUNDERSTANDING, AND COUNTLESS DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT TRULY TRY MEN'S SOULS. STILL, THE ANSWER IS IN OUR HANDS...THE LEAVENING OF THE MULTITUDE WITH CHRISTIAN IDEALS CAN BE DONE IN THE SAME SIMPLE WAY IT WAS BY THE EARLY CHRISTIANS OF THE CATACOMBS -- (THROUGH) THEIR CONSUMING LOVE FOR ALL MEN, EVEN THEIR WORST ENEMIES, IN EACH OF WHOM THEY SAW THE IMAGE OF CHRIST HIMSELF. IT IS A POWER WHICH THE LEAST OF US CAN HAVE. IT IS THE CURE FOR WHICH MANKIND LONGS." ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US, KNOWING AS THEY DO THAT IN EMBRACING THE CHRISTOPHER MISSION THEY WILL SHARE ONE OVERRIDING COMMITMENT: THE LOVE OF ALL PEOPLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

1	Briefly describe the organization’s mission or most significant activities: GROUNDED IN JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES, THE CHRISTOPHERS' MISSION IS TO USE ALL FORMS OF MEDIA (RADIO, VIDEO, WEB, PRINT) ALONG WITH LEADERSHIP COURSES TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO PUT THEIR FAITH INTO ACTION, AND TO REMIND THEM OF THE GOSPEL-BASED MANDATE, "DO NOT BE OVERCOME BY EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD." MOTIVATED BY A LOVE OF GOD AND HUMANITY, ALL PEOPLE CAN BE CHRISTOPHERS - OR CHRIST-BEARERS - IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DAILY LIVES BY SEEING PROBLEMS AND WORKING TO SOLVE THEM INSTEAD OF SIMPLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM. CHRISTOPHERS SEE THESE INSTANCES AS OPPORTUNITIES TO BE SOLUTION-ORIENTED ROLE MODELS, SERVING AS SOURCES OF DIVINE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS OF SOCIETAL ILLS AND PERSONAL CHALLENGES. IN FACT, THE CHRISTOPHER APPROACH IS BEST SUMMED UP IN OUR MOTTO, "IT'S BETTER TO LIGHT ONE CANDLE THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS." SINCE 1945, WE HAVE USED OUR LITERATURE, BROADCASTS, AWARDS, PRISON MINISTRY, AND YOUTH CONTESTS TO BRING POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE VALUES INTO THE MAINSTREAM O

	CHRISTOPHER AWARDS - THE CHRISTOPHER AWARDS WERE CREATED BY OUR FOUNDER, FATHER JAMES KELLER, M.M., IN 1949 BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE ARTS, MEDIA, AND POPULAR CULTURE HAD THE POWER TO INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. HE REALIZED THAT WHEN WE'RE EXPOSED TO STORIES THAT SHINE A LIGHT ON OUR STRUGGLES AS WELL AS VIRTUES LIKE FAITH, COURAGE, HOPE, AND LOVE, WE CAN BECOME MOTIVATED TO BECOME BETTER, MORE SELFLESS PEOPLE. THEREFORE, THE CHRISTOPHER AWARDS HONOR BOOKS, FILMS AND TELEVISION PROGRAMS THAT AFFIRM THE HIGHEST VALUES OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. THEIR GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE CREATIVE ARTISTS TO PURSUE EXCELLENCE IN ARENAS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO INFLUENCE A MASS AUDIENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY, AND TO ENCOURAGE READERS AND VIEWERS TO TAP INTO THE BETTER SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE BY SEEING EXAMPLES OF IT PRESENTED TO THEM IN ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING WAYS. THE ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY IS A HIGH PROFILE MEDIA EVENT REGULARLY HOSTED BY A FAMOUS TV PERSONALITY. PAST GUESTS INCLUDE LUMINARIES SUCH AS STEVEN SPIELBERG AND DAVID MCCULLOUGH. DOLLY PARTON WAS A WINNER FOR HER 2015 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL TV MOVIE "DOLLY PARTON'S COAT OF MANY COLORS, AND HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE AWARD: "I LOVE THE CHRISTOPHER AWARD SLOGAN, 'BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE THAN TO CURSE THE DARKNESS.' I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL MY HEART. I THINK THE MOVIE, 'COAT OF MANY COLORS,' A TRUE STORY FROM MY CHILDHOOD, REALLY DOES THROW A LIGHT ON A LOT OF THINGS LIKE FAMILY, HOPE, LOVE, KINDNESS, UNDERSTANDING, AND ACCEPTANCE. IT REALLY SPOKE TO THE ISSUE OF BULLYING. I AM VERY PROUD AT HOW GOD WORKS THROUGH ME TO SHINE A LIGHT, AND TO HELP HEAL A LOT OF HURT IN A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I AM VERY PROUD OF THIS AWARD. AND CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHORS HENRY WINKLER AND LIN OLIVER SAID, "RECEIVING THE CHRISTOPHER AWARD FOR OUR FIRST HERE'S HANK BOOK, 'BOOKMARKS ARE PEOPLE TOO,' WAS SUCH A MEANINGFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF OUR COMMITMENT TO GETTING RELUCTANT READERS TO PICK UP A BOOK AND LAUGH THEIR WAY THROUGH IT. WE BELIEVE LAUGHTER IS THE PERFECT LIGHT SWITCH TO ILLUMINATE A CHILD'S PATH INTO LITERATURE. WE WERE HONORED AND GRATEFUL TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE BELIEF THAT READING AND EDUCATION CAN LEAD US ALL FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT."

IN 2015, THE CHRISTOPHERS BEGAN OUR LEADERSHIP IN MERCY ONLINE STORYTELLING PLATFORM. THIS INITIATIVE IS DESIGNED TO PRESENT STORIES OF FAITH AND PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION THAT DEMONSTRATE HOW GREAT LEADERS ARE BORN THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD'S MERCY. CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS PLATFORM RANGE FROM FATHER JOHN CATOIR, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION, TO READERS COMPELLED TO SHARE THEIR OWN STORIES WITH US. ONE SUBMISSION TOLD OF A PROFOUND ENCOUNTER A CHRISTOPHER HAD WITH A HOMELESS MAN ON THE STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA. ANOTHER TOLD OF A MAN INSPIRED BY THE VOLUNTEERS WHO MOVED INTO ACTION IN THE AFTERMATH OF 9/11 AND THE CALL HE SUBSEQUENTLY ANSWERED TO GET INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND MISSIONARY WORK TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

COUNTLESS CHAPLAINS, AS WELL AS PRISONERS THEMSELVES, FREQUENTLY CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO EXPRESS THANKS FOR THE MANY DONATED ITEMS WE MAKE AVAILABLE TO THEM. OUR HOPE IS THAT ALL THESE MATERIALS WILL HELP TO BRING LIGHT OF GOD'S LOVE TO THOSE OF HIS CHILDREN WHO COULD USE A POSITIVE MESSAGE IN THEIR LIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE RECEIVED A NOTE FROM SISTER ROSEMARY DOWD, A NOW-RETIRED JAIL CHAPLAIN IN CHICAGO, WHO WROTE, "THIS WEEK, AN OLDER MAN ASKED IF I COULD GIVE HIM ANYTHING TO READ THAT WOULD 'LIFT HIS SPIRITS.' I WAS ABLE TO FIND A [THREE MINUTES A DAY] BOOK TO BRING HIM (THEY ARE SO POPULAR THAT THEY AREN'T ALWAYS AVAILABLE) I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE GOODIES YOU SEND. THE MEN LOVE EVERYTHING I PUT OUT FOR THEM ON A 'TAKE IF YOU WISH' TABLE WHEN WE HAVE OUR TWICE-WEEKLY COMMUNION SERVICES. [THEY SAY], 'IF IT IS FROM THE CHRISTOPHERS, IT IS GOOD!'"THE CHRISTOPHER YOUTH PROGRAM: THE CHRISTOPHERS' HIGH SCHOOL POSTER CONTEST ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO ARTISTICALLY EXPRESS THE THEME "YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE."

FIRST PRIZE EARNS, $1,000; 2ND PRIZE GETS $500; THIRD PRIZE WINS $250; AND HONORABLE MENTIONS RECEIVE $100. NICOLE SMITH OF HEBRON CHRISTIAN ACADEMY IN DACULA, GA, TOOK THE TOP PRIZE IN THE 2015 COMPETITION FOR HER PHOTOGRAPH OF POOR CHILDREN THAT SHE MET DURING A MISSION TRIP TO RIOBAMBA, ECUADOR. AFTER PERFORMING A SKIT FOR THEM ABOUT JESUS WASHING THE FEET OF HIS DISCIPLES, NICOLE AND HER GROUP DECIDED TO WASH THE FEET OF THE CHILDREN IN ATTENDANCE AS A GESTURE OF SERVICE AND HUMILITY. SHE WROTE TO THE CHRISTOPHERS SAYING, "ONCE WE WERE DONE, I REMEMBER LOOKING AT ALL THE KIDS. THEY WERE ALL VERY JOYFUL AND GRATEFUL AS THEY POINTED TO THEIR CLEAN FEET AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED...SEEING THEIR HAPPY FACES AFTER WASHING THEIR FEET WAS AN AWE-INSPIRING MOMENT THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. MY MISSION TRIP TO ECUADOR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS AND GREATLY INCREASED MY DESIRE TO SERVE OTHERS...I PLAN TO TRAVEL MORE IN THE FUTURE TO SERVE...THE CHRISTOPHERS' SCHOLARSHIP WILL DEFINITELY HELP WITH THESE TYPES OF OPPORTUNITIES."THE CHRISTOPHERS' COLLEGE VIDEO CONTEST ALLOWS YOUNG ADULTS TO CAPTURE TRUE OR FICTIONAL STORIES ON VIDEO OR FILM, STORIES THAT LIGHT A CANDLE RATHER THAN CURSE THE DARKNESS BY HIGHLIGHTING OUR POWER TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. IN ADDITION TO ARTISTIC EXPRESSION WITH A MORAL AND SPIRITUAL FOCUS, THE CONTEST ALSO GIVES HARDWORKING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A SCHOLARSHIP THAT WILL HELP THEM FURTHER PURSUE THEIR ACADEMIC STUDIES.

WE ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A STEWARDSHIP PAMPHLET TO ACCOMPANY OUR PAMPHLET ON WILLS AND THIS AFFORDS OPPORTUNITIES TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEQUESTS TO THE FUTURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION.
