IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0LIKE MANY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING FOR IM EDUCATION. OUR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND SECURE PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH GRANT FUNDING HAS BEEN DIFFICULT, A RESULT OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND THE PRIORITIZATION OF EMERGENCY PROGRAM FUNDING FOR MANY GRANTORS, ALONG WITH INCREASED COMPETITION FOR SUCH FUNDING. THIS CAME JUST AS OUR PROGRAMS WERE REACHING A MATURE STAGE AND MAY HAVE BEEN MORE ATTRACTIVE FOR SUCH FUNDING. MOREOVER, OUR DELIVERY OF KEY PROGRAMS HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE PANDEMIC, AS SCHOOLS HAVE CLOSED AND IT HAS PROVEN CHALLENGING TO DELIVER SERVICES FOR OUR WRITING COACH PROGRAM AS EFFECTIVELY AS IN PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. OUR STAFF TIME HAS BEEN CENTERED ON CONTINUED DELIVERY OF PROGRAMS IN THE FACE OF THE CRISIS, AND DEALING WITH MANY UNANTICIPATED SITUATIONS. WE HAVE MADE MANY CHANGES IN OUR OPERATIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS TO DEAL WITH THESE CHALLENGES, INCLUDING (1) THE HIRING OF AN ASSISTANT TO IDENTIFY GRANT FUNDING AND TO HELP COORDINATE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT; (2) THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW PRACTICES TO ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF OUR WRITING COACH PROGRAM, INCLUDING CREATION OF ONLINE CONTENT AND REMOTE DELIVERY OF COACHING; (3) THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PROGRAMS; AND (4) REDUCING PAYROLL EXPENSES, PRINCIPALLY BY REMOVING OUR PRESIDENT FROM THE ORGANIZATIONS PAYROLL IN OCTOBER, 2021 (HE NOW PERFORMS HIS RESPONSIBILITIES THROUGH DONATED TIME). OUR KEY PROGRAM (AND LARGEST EXPENSE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS), THE REACCT WRITING COACH PROGRAM, RECEIVES MINIMAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS (SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTE LESS THAN 5% OF OUR TOTAL COSTS), AND THUS OUTSIDE FUNDING TO SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF A FEW KEY BENEFACTORS DURING THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE RECENT CHALLENGES, THIS SUPPORT HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATE TO MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE IRS REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF IM EDUCATION HAS RECENTLY DECIDED THAT, STARTING IN FALL 2022, THIS PROGRAM WILL BE, IN LARGE PART, A FEE- FORSERVICE PROGRAM. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON THIS CHANGE, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FEE SCHEDULES FOR THIS SERVICE. THIS WILL ALLOW IM TO ALIGN EXPENSES WITH REVENUES GENERATED FROM THE PROGRAM, AND ALSO ALLOW IM TO SCALE THE PROGRAM APPROPRIATELY. GRANTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE PURSUED FOR THIS PROGRAM, THOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE PROGRAM SUPPORT. IM IS ALSO RESTRUCTURING ANOTHER OF ITS PROGRAMS, REBUILDING AMERICAN CIVICS, WHICH OFFERS CIVICS EDUCATION FOR INTERESTED CITIZENS. CURRENTLY, THIS PROGRAM (WHICH IS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VITERBO UNIVERSITY, IN LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN) IS OFFERED AS A FREE PROGRAM. THIS YEAR, WE ARE EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF REORGANIZING THE PROGRAM TO INCORPORATE A FEE BASIS FOR PARTICIPATION; THIS FEE WILL HELP COVER SOME OF THE PROGRAM COSTS, ALLOWING IM TO BETTER ALIGN PROGRAM COSTS WITH REVENUES AND DONATIONS (I.E., GRANTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE PURSUED FOR THIS PROGRAM). OUR 2021 FISCAL YEAR (JANUARY 1-DECEMBER 31) WAS THE FINAL YEAR OF OUR PROBATIONARY PERIOD TO MEET THE 33 1/3 PERCENT TEST TO SHOW PUBLIC SUPPORT, PURSUANT TO OUR STATUS AS A PUBLIC CHARITY THAT RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF ITS SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC, UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). WE ARE REQUESTING THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ALLOW FOR ONE OR BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING WITH RESPECT TO OUR STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3). 1. WE WOULD LIKE AN EXTENSION OF TWO YEARS WITH RESPECT TO MEETING THE STANDARDS UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). IT IS OUR HOPE THAT AS GRANT FUNDING BECOMES MORE WIDELY AVAILABLE, WITH THE HOPEFUL DECREASE OF IMPACT FROM THE PANDEMIC, COUPLED WITH CONTINUED DEDICATION OF STAFF TIME TO SECURE SUCH FUNDING AND A REDUCTION OF EXPENSES, WE WILL HAVE MORE SUCCESS WITH GRANT FUNDING, BETTER ALIGN EXPENSES WITH SUCH REVENUES, AND ACHIEVE THE REQUIREMENT UNDER THE 33 1/3 PERCENT TEST. 2.
