IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0FOR THE FIVE-YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, THE CENTER FOR COLLABORATIVE DEMOCRACY ("CCD") RECEIVED DIRECT PUBLIC SUPPORT OF 4.15%, WHICH IS BELOW THE PUBLIC CHARITY THRESHOLD. CCD COMMENCED OPERATIONS DURING 2019, JUST BEFORE THE COVID PANDEMIC HIT. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019, 2020, AND 2021, CCD HAD MINIMAL OPERATIONS, GENERATING LESS THAN $1,000 PER YEAR IN SUPPORT. DURING 2022, AS THE COVID PANDEMIC WANED, CCD TRULY BEGAN OPERATIONS. AS CCD LOST THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF ITS OPERATIONS, IT RELIED ON 2 LARGE DONATIONS FROM THE BROTHER OF ONE OF ITS BOARD MEMBERS TO PROVIDE IT WITH SEED MONEY UNTIL THE ORGANIZATION COULD EFFECTIVELY DEVELOP ITS DONOR BASE. STARTING IN 2023 AND CONTINUING IN 2024, CCD OBTAINED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES AND IT ANTICIPATES THIS TREND TO GROW OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. CCD ANTICIPATES THAT OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 3 YEARS, THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT WILL BE ABOVE THE 33.33% THRESHOLD. AS A RESULT, BASED UPON THE ABOVE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, CCD REQUESTS RETENTION OF ITS PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS.
