IN ITS FIRST FULL YEAR OF OPERATION, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED A 100,000 CONTRIBUTION FROM A SINGLE DONOR, WHICH REPRESENTED A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR TOTAL REVENUE FOR THE FIVE-YEAR SUPPORT PERIOD. WHILE THIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTION PROVIDED CRITICAL SEED FUNDING, IT TEMPORARILY SKEWED OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MEET THE 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT THRESHOLD UNDER IRC SECTION 509(A)(1) & 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). DESPITE THIS CHALLENGE, FRIENDS OF POTENTINO HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY TO BROADEN ITS BASE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AND SECURE A SUSTAINABLE MIX OF FUNDING SOURCES FOR 2023 AND 2024, INCLUDING: - 65 INDIVIDUAL DONORS, CONTRIBUTING AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 25 TO 10,000. - 2 CORPORATE SPONSORS SUPPORTING OUR MISSION WITH CONTRIBUTIONS AVERAGING AROUND 10,000. - 4 GRANTS TOTALING 274,000, AWARDED BY CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATIONS. - REVENUE FROM FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, INCREASING YEAR OVER YEAR. WHILE THE ORIGINAL 100,000 DONOR HAS REMAINED A KEY SUPPORTER AND INTENDS TO CONTINUE CONTRIBUTING TO FRIENDS OF POTENTINO, THE ORGANIZATION HAS DEMONSTRATED A CLEAR AND SUSTAINED COMMITMENT TO ATTRACTING ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF PUBLIC FUNDING. THE PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL REVENUE REPRESENTED BY THIS DONOR HAS DECLINED AS A RESULT OF OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, AND WE ANTICIPATE REACHING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST THRESHOLD IN THE COMING YEARS AS WE CONTINUE EXPANDING OUR DONOR BASE AND GRANT FUNDING. GIVEN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FRIENDS OF POTENTINO CONTINUE TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER IRC SECTION 509(A)(1) & 170(B)(1)(A)(VI).
