“While the core services provided by the organization have remained consistent from 2023 to 2024, the W20 Foundation undertook an internal program restructuring for 2024 activities for improved financial tracking, outcome measurement, and program clarity. Activities that were previously grouped under the TeamUp4Community (TU4C) program have now been formally delineated into three distinct programs: TeamUp4Community, which continues to focus on youth-led service learning and digital impact tracking; the Scholarship Program, which recognizes student-athletes with merit-based scholarships tied to civic leadership and service; and Fuel the Movement, which promotes public engagement through storytelling, speaking engagements, and digital outreach. These two new programsthe Scholarship Program and Fuel the Movement are newly reported as separate program lines on the Form 990 beginning in 2024. However, they do not reflect the addition of entirely new services. Rather, they are primarily a reclassification of existing activities previously embedded within the broader TU4C initiative. This structural update was implemented to better align the organizations accounting and program reporting with actual outcomes, impact areas, and future funding streams.Fuel the Movement was launched in 2024 as a formal engagement program of the W20 Foundation. It includes the organizations annual Golf Outing, public speaking appearances, a soon-to-be-launched digital podcast platform, and issue-based campaigns designed to inspire civic action. The program complements W20s other initiatives by elevating stories of youth service, facilitating volunteer pledges, and connecting donors, athletes, and community members through a shared culture of leadership and giving. During 2024, the organization improved its internal accounting procedures to more accurately allocate functional expenses across program services, management, and fundraising. This included the use of time tracking and revised coding procedures that better reflect staff time,direct program costs, and outreach activities. These updates were made in order to present a more transparent and mission-aligned financial picture and to support clearer reporting to donors and grantors. The full Form 990 is reviewed by the Executive Director and at least one board member prior to submission. The organization now maintains a conflict of interest policy, which is reviewed and acknowledged by all board members annually. Governing documents and financial statements are available to the public upon request and are also posted online for transparency.”
