| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 0 | We sought additional public support through individual donations from the public using the social media platforms of Facebook and Instagram, and we sent multiple contribution request solicitation letters to our 821 print newsletters subscribers, and email solicitations to 1,678 electronic newsletter subscribers. Direct funding from the public was also sought through our two websites. We also sought public support on X -formerly known as Twitter. In 2024, our continued public support was evidenced by requests from the public for our participation in two national conferences of motor vehicle administrators. We also presented publicly at three identity technology conferences regarding counterfeit identity documents used for identity theft and regarding the need to increase the counterfeit resistance of state issued identity documents. We will continue to make every effort to broaden public support for our organization. |
