What it says it does

Christian Radio Broadcasting and translator maintenance: We endeavor to build radio towers, install transmitters and to broadcast Christian-based radio programming in remote communities of the aboriginal people, in Canada in order to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the past, much of our time and expenses have been to travel to meet with the elders of these remote communities, in order to establish relationships with them so that we may be able to later build a radio tower to bring the hope of the Gospel through the radio to these remote communities and provide on-going Christian support.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $55,281 spent. Since the Covid19 Pandemic we have been able to partner with other similar organizations. Broadcasts of live events are going well with some of our Native partners actually running the broadcasts with our assistance remotely. We have continued to partner with the other ministries that we became involved with during the Pandemic. We have assisted with stations being built in Africa and Central America and we are continuing to expand those networks. We intend to continue to work toward the goal of providing our Gospel-centered radio stations to every community that desires it. By present estimations we are serving possibly up to 4,000,000 people.
  2. $23,201 spent. Nations One relies heavily on the use of our airplane in order to access the remote communities we serve. Many of the Native communities do not have roads to access them, outside of winter ice roads. We have hauled towers in during the winter as well but most of the building needs to occur during the warmer times when the ground can be dug into.
  3. $25,010 spent. Broadcasting to the communities we serve has many costs associated with it. Satellite fees, electricity, rents, computer servers, transmitters, and etc.
  4. $33,081 spent. General operating expenses including but not limited to travel, office expenses, insurance, maintenance, etc.
