| We achieved a significant number of accomplishments in 2020. Our primary goal for 2020 was to complete a beta version of our new punctuation program. We were able to publish a draft without the voiceovers that we know are an essential part of the final version. We began developing the content early in the year and continue to employ the services of our software animator at an incredibly low hourly rate ($25 an hour). He assists us in the extensive technical work to create the animated lessons and set up and maintain the website. We were able to secure 2 new domain names: www.EnglishGrammarHelp.com, for the punctuation site; and www.EasyEnglishGrammar.com, for the course, renaming our course to be in alignment with our YouTube channel. We currently have 4 independent entities running: www.EnglishGrammarHelp.com, www.EnglishPunctuation.com, www.EasyEnglishGrammar.com, our course site, and Easy English Grammar -YouTube videos. In addition to our grammar and punctuation sites, we have continued to develop the many segments of our LearnDash course and changed its name and URL to EasyEnglishGrammar.com to be in sync with our YouTube videos. We also replaced an earlier version of the videos on the course to our EnglishGrammarHelp HTML5 files from our website. These changes have made the course more appealing as a separate entity and generated increased viewership to our sites and to our course site because the course has more continuity with our website. We were able to purchase new plugins which improved a teachers ability to track a students progress. We continue to update our YouTube channel Easy-English Grammar Help descriptions. We have seen a dramatic increase in viewership and are attracting thousands of new subscribers and users to our various sites both nationally and internationally.All funds are used for technical development and maintenance of our program, including securing domain names, providing Internet access, assisting us with social media outreach, and covering all technical upgrades. In 2020 we again were awarded a Google Grant for Non-Profits for the 7th consecutive year. Our Google AdWords Grant for Nonprofits provides us no cash but gives us the equivalence of $10,000 a month in free advertising, allowing us to advertise on Google while conserving our resources for development and maintenance.We have been actively applying for funding from foundations and individuals and have been successful in our endeavors. | $49,078 | - |
