“Part ix line 25: program service expenses: the foundation is run by the chief executive officer and chief operating officer with assistance from the board. Their compensation is the largest expense of the organization. Their main responsibilities are to run the programs and raise money. Their time is allocated based on actual time spent which is program service expenses of approximately 54% of total expenses. The special events generate a substantial amount of revenue used to run the program and are required events for the organization. Over time, the organization expects to rely less on the two special events to generate revenue which will allow more time to be spent on improving the program. In addition, the organization receives a significant amount of in-kind donations for the two main programs (power of thanksgiving and student service program). These in-kind donations include supplies, food and various facilitators and educators. The in-kind donations (of time and material) allow the organization to keep costs to the programs low.”

“(continued from part iii) civic engagement, and community involvement. The meetings feature community and business leaders as guest speakers. Throughout the year, the students complete various service projects, as well as serve as volunteers at rnf events, including the annual power of thanksgiving celebration. Upon completion of the curriculum, the students design and manage their own fundraising event as a way to embody the power of giving by paying it forward to the next group of students who will enter the program. The year culminates in a five-day hurricane disaster relief service trip. During their senior year, the ssp alumni serve as peer mentors to the next class of ssp students while continuing their service work with the foundation and learning about community engagement and corporate social responsibility. The ssp strives to educate students about leadership, civic engagement, and community involvement. Funds for the program are obtained through program sponsorships, special events, and grants.”
