IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0I. OVERVIEWOVER THE THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE AVODA INSTITUTE HAS SCALED BACK ITS ORGANIZATION AND NARROWED ITS PROGRAMMING FOCUS AS DECREASES IN GRANT-MAKING IN THE NONPROFIT SECTORS OF ARTS AND EDUCATION HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO FIND AND SUSTAIN NEW SOURCES OF FUNDING SUPPORT. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, THE ORGANIZATION HAS CONTINUED TO BUILD A MISSION-RELATED REVENUE STREAM (E.G., TRAINING WORKSHOPS AND FEE-FOR-SERVICE PROGRAMS) TO HELP SUPPORT ITS YEARLY OPERATING BUDGET.WHILE A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS WERE RECEIVED DURING THIS TIMEFRAME, THE CAROL AND ARTHUR SPINNER CHARITABLE FUND MADE A LARGE GRANT TO COVER BOTH ANNUAL-OPERATING AND PROJECT-SPECIFIC EXPENSES WHILE SEVERAL NEW, EXPANDED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WERE BEING DEVELOPED. SINCE AVODAS LAUNCH, THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN OPERATING TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINS COMMITTED TO EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND THE GENERATION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR ITS PROGRAMS.II. RELEVANT ACTIVITIESIN FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2015, THE AVODA INSTITUTE CONTINUED WORKING ON A VARIETY OF STRATEGIC PLANNING AND ORGANIZING ACTIVITIES TO BOTH SOLICIT FUNDS AND BROADEN THE ORGANIZATIONS BASE OF SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. EXAMPLES OF THIS IMPORTANT SUSTAINABILITY WORK HAVE INCLUDED:1. ADVANCING A NON-PROFIT MODEL DEPENDENT ON A LARGER MISSION-RELATED REVENUE STREAM.IN ADDITION TO APPLYING FOR GRANTS AND SOLICITING FUNDS FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS, THE AVODA INSTITUTE CONTINUES TO PROVIDE FEE-FOR-SERVICE PROGRAMS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS, WHICH GENERATE MISSION-RELATED REVENUE FOR THE ORGANIZATION.2. SUBMITTING PROPOSALS FOR NEW GRANT OPPORTUNITIES. OUR LEAD PROFESSIONAL NOW SPENDS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF HER TIME RESPONDING TO REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS (RFPS) BY VARIOUS COMMUNAL AND FAMILY FOUNDATIONS. DURING FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015, THE AVODA INSTITUTE WAS AWARDED AN $11,250 GRANT FROM THE JEWISH EDUCATION PROJECT IN NEW YORK TO CONTINUE WORK ON AN INNOVATIVE ARTS-BASED PROGRAM FOR NEW YORK AREA SCHOOLS. AS OF THIS WRITING, AVODA HAS THREE PENDING GRANT PROPOSALS, WHICH ARE FOCUSED ON ADVOCACY INITIATIVES GOING FORWARD. TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE FUNDING REQUESTS TOTAL MORE THAN $50,000.4. BROADENING DONOR SUPPORT AND REDUCING RELIANCE ON A SINGLE MAJOR FUNDER. GENEROUS START-UP CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CAROL AND ARTHUR SPINNER CHARITABLE FUND ALLOWED THE AVODA INSTITUE TO LAUNCH SUCCESSFULLY IN THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR. OUR EXPECTATIONS GOING FORWARD ARE THAT THE SPINNER CHARITABLE FUNDS DONATION AMOUNT WILL CONTINUE TO BE REDUCED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.
