IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0WITHOUT WORDS, INC. ("WOW") QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION FOR 2016 BECAUSE IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST DESCRIBED IN IRS PUB 557 (FEB 2016). FROM 2009 THROUGH 2013, WOW ENGAGED IN ESSENTIALLY NO ACTIVITY. IT WAS ORIGINALLY ORGANIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF CREATING AND DISTRIBUTING CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE STORYBOARDS AS A TOOL TO EDUCATE PEOPLE IN THE THIRD WORLD ABOUT HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS THAT IMPACT THEIR DAILY LIVES. FULLFILLMENT OF THIS CHARITABLE PURPOSE REQUIRED TRAVEL TO AFRICA. HOWEVER, FROM APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2009 THROUGH MARCH 2014 ACTS OF VIOLENCE IN MALI AND THE EBOLA VIRUS EPIDEMIC IN WEST AFRICA MADE TRAVEL TO AFRICA IMPRACTICAL FOR WOW'S DIRECTORS AND STAFF. IN APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 2014, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WOW IDENTIFED A NEED FOR CHARITABLE SERVICES FOR FAMILIES LIVING IN COLORADO THAT ARE DISTRESSED BY A LIFE-CHANGING ILLNESS, DEATH OR INJURY OF A LOVED ONE. THE BOARD THEN CHANGED THE ORGANIZATIONS CHARITABLE PURPOSE FROM THE STORYBOARD MISSION TO ONE MORE ALIGNED WITH PROVIDING RELIEF TO SUCH DISTRESSED FAMILIES. SINCE 2014, WOW HAS MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY AND HAS HOSTED SEVERAL PROGRAMS AND EVENTS IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS NEW CHARITABLE PURPOSE. FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST: WOW MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST BECAUSE IT NORMALLY RECIEVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PULIC. THE ORGANIZATION MEETS BOTH THE TEN-PERCENT-OF SUPPORT REQUIREMENT AND THE ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT FOR 2016 AND THE FOUR TAX YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR ON AN AGGREGATE BASIS. WOW IS ALSO IN THE NATURE OF A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION. TEN-PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED BY WOW FROM CONTIBUTIONS MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS AT LEAST 10% OF THE TOTAL SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED BY WOW (COMPUTATIONS OF PULIC SUPPORT REFLECT THE 2% LIMIT DESCRIBED IN IRS PUB 557(FEB 2016)). IN EACH OF THE FOUR TAX YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE 2014 YEAR (2010-2013), DUE TO INACTIVITY, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUPPORT THAT WOW RECEIVED FROM ANY SOURCE WAS $0.00. SINCE 2013, DIRECT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC CONSTITUTED 15% IN 2014, 36% IN 2015 AND 19% IN 2016 OR CUMULATIVELY (FROM 2014-2016) - 26%. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT; WOW IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS (THE FIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS). IN ADDITION TO THE TWO REQUIREMENTS OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCE TEST, WOW MEETS A SUFFICENT COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING FIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS TO SHOW THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED. 1. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FACTOR ONCE WOW ADOPTED ITS NEW CHARITABLE MISSION IN 2014, IT EXPANDED ITS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS BY ADDING A SECOND EVENT IN A SECOND CITY. 2. SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR WOW RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM AN INCREASINGLY REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER OF PERSONS. IN 2014, TOTAL SUPPORT FORM THE GENERAL PUBLIC WAS $8,384 WHICH INCREASED IN 2015 TO $36,399 AND CONTINUED INTO 2016 TO $13,137. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE FACTS THAT 2014-2016 WERE THE ORGANIZATION'S FIRST THREE EFFECTIVE OPERATIONAL YEARS UNDER ITS NEW CHARITABLE MISSION. IMPEDIMENTS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S PURSUIT OF ITS ORIGINAL MISSION IN THE FOUR TAX YEARS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE 2014 SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED WITH RESPECT TO THE SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR. 3. RESPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR WOW'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS WERE AMENDED IN 2016 TO ALLOW UP TO TWELVE BOARD MEMBERS WHO SERVE STAGGERED TWO-YEAR TERMS, EXPANDING THE GOVERNING BODY TO BETTER REPRESENT THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. THE CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPRISED OF EIGHT MEMBERS REPRESENTING A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF THE VIEWS AND INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE ORGINI
