Organization Classification

The IRS classifies organizations according to the National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) system. The NTEE system helps the IRS assign a 3-character code to each organization to describe the organization's activities.

The One Love Initiative Inc's NTEE code is X21. The "X" tells us that the organization is classified along with Religion-Related organizations. The "21" tells us that the organization is a Protestant organization. The NTEE describes Protestant organizations as religious organizations whose form of Christian faith and practice originated with the principles of the Reformation, including churches, ministries, missions, bible camps and schools, and bible distribution programs.

Every organization is also governed by a specific section of the Internal Revenue Code. The most common type is a 501(c)(3) organization. However, there are actually 29 different types of organizations that are identified by the Internal Revenue Code. This organization happens to be a 501(c)(3) organization. The IRS describes these organizations as those engaged in Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Public Safety, Amateur Sports, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals work.

The mission of the One Love Initiative Inc is to establish and equip a generation to obey and fulfill Jesus' great commandment and the great commission. They will work to cultivate a generation of leaders who are wholly given and surrendered to the will of God, living for a purpose greater than themselves, and sent as laborers of the gospel to the unreached frontiers of the earth, whether geographical or societal. Their threefold mission is to save the lost, revive the saved, and train them all to generate discipleship opportunities.

Program Area 2: 21 Project is a 3-week leadership training school designed to help young adults grow in their Christian faith and develop their skills in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Board Governance

The One Love Initiative Inc is a non-profit organization that is governed by a board of four voting members, two of whom are independent. While potential conflicts of interest may exist, the organization has a conflict of interest policy in place that requires disclosure of any potential conflicts. The organization also substantiates and reviews the salaries of both its leadership and officers. Additionally, the organization provides copies of the 990 to the board prior to filing. Unfortunately, the organization does not currently document board or committee meetings, nor does it have a written whistleblower policy or document retention policy in place. As such, the One Love Initiative Inc could benefit from instituting these policies in order to ensure the highest standards of governance.
