| A significant accomplishment we achieved in 2019 was to meet the deadline to transitioning our outdated animation Flash files at Grammarmechanics.com to a fully functioning HTML5 site, EnglishGrammarHelp.com, that runs on smart phones, tablets, laptops and computers. This complete conversion was critical because we risked losing all our older animation and program since Flash was to be completely phased out by end of 2019 and no longer supported on the Internet. In the last quarter of 2019, we were able to remove the old unsupported Flash site and redirect traffic on all platforms to the new site. We were also able to begin the development of an online LearnDash course, courseEnglishGrammarHelp, which augments our website offerings and allows the tracking of a students progress. In addition, we created another chapter, which focuses on writing rules that are tested on standardized tests such as the Common Core, ACT and SAT. We were relieved to be able to meet our goals to integrate all our animated chapters by the end of the year deadline.We continue to employ the services of a software animator at an incredibly low hourly rate to assist us in converting our obsolescent Flash files and develop new content to a format that can be viewed on all platforms.Since we have recently developed our new course content and updated our site, we are attracting thousands of new subscribers and users both nationally and internationally.We retitled our YouTube channel Easy-EnglishGrammarHelp and continue to update our descriptions and have seen a dramatic increase in viewership to our YouTube videos in the past year. We can now provide a course with quizzes and tracking for teachers to use with their students using the LearnDash program. It validates the ever-growing teacher need and student demand for the online tools we provide.All funds are used for development and maintenance of our program, including securing domain names, providing Internet access, social media outreach, and technical upgrades. In 2019 we again were given a Google Grant for Non-Profits for the 6th consecutive year. The Google AdWords Grant provides us no cash but gives us the equivalence of $10,000 a month in free advertising, allowingus to advertise on Google while conserving our resources for development and maintenance. | $52,194 | - |
