“Andando foundation maintains a continuous and bonafide program for solicitation of funds from the general public. This includes consistent, regular and frequent communications to thousands of people annually - via multiple methods across the platforms of direct mailings, email and marketing, extensive and frequent social media presence as well as direct face to face campaigning for funds at social clubs, organized groups, schools and churches. Andando also conducts a robust grant writing operation with dozens of grants being solicited each year from a myraid of sources - domestic, international, private and publi, government etc. Andando receives numerous grants each year from different sources. Andando has a diverse governing body that represents the broad interest of the public. This is shown in our board, which meets quarterly, who ensures compliance with both the spirit and the letter of the law. Andando provides services that directly benefit the general public on an ongoing basis that number in the tens of thousands in the communities we serve in. These include publicly supporting thousands of women and families in agricultural and nutritional assistance along with income generation, school and educational support for thousands of students, and increased access to heathcare for thousands of people. The staff and board of andando was able to make an early recognition of this potential shortcoming, and has been actively working toward remedying the issue. The staff and board of andando has adopted and established a plan, including revenue goals and avenues that will re-establish the public support percentage. Through our diligence, and the plan laid out above we expect the remaining and growing donor base to eventually catch up to this disproportionate or weighted imbalance, thereby putting us back above the 33.33%. Finally, andando has hired a development director that will be tasked with further identifying and securing more diverse revenue streams.”
