The We Card Program Inc

“The organization maintains a management contract with otm partners llc to provide day-to-day management and other services. An employee of otm partners, doug anderson, served as president of the organization throughout all of 2020. The other directors (including two directors that served as officers) are independent and are not employees of otm partners. The board of directors reviews and/or provides all management duties as well. Otm partners llc provides management and other services to its clients, including the we card program, inc., on a time and materials basis at fair market rates. No portion of mr. Anderson's compensation from otm partners llc can be specifically identified with services he renders as an officer to the organization. However, otm partners has billed the organization $203,344 in management fees related to mr. Anderson's services, which approximated 905 hours during the year. Mr. Anderson has only very limited authority to disburse funds or sign checks.”

“Social sourcing awareness program raises awareness of the "social sourcing" problem of tobacco and vaping products (where underage youth gain access to age-restricted products through adult-for-underage purchases/giving and bumming and borrowing the products). We card's efforts will include raising awareness on the overall issue, and focusing on the adult-for-underage purchase issue - encouraging retailers to deny those types of sales while encouraging adults to refrain from being a source. We card's efforts in 2020 involved research on the issue, public attitudes and awareness necessary for campaign development.”
