IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt0I. Overview: The last two years have represented a time of transition for the organization and its programming.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt1Decreases in grant-making in the nonprofit sectors of arts and education as well as the relocation of the organization from
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt2New York to Massachusetts have made it difficult to find and sustain new sources of funding support.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt3While a variety of individual donations were received during this timeframe,
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt4the Carol and Arthur Spinner Charitable Fund made a large grant to cover both annual operating expenses
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt5and project-specific expenses while several new, expanded educational programs were being developed.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt6Several key grant applications also were filed during this time to support ongoing work.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt7Since Avodas launch, the organization has been operating to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt8The organization remains committed to educational excellence and the generation of public support for its programs.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt9II. Relevant Activities: In fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the Avoda Institute began undertaking a variety of strategic planning
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt10nd organizing activities to both solicit funds and broaden the organizations base of support from the general public.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt11Examples of this important sustainability work have included:
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt121. Working with a Strategy and Development Consultant to identify new funding sources.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt13n May 2008, the Avoda Institute board held a retreat with a seasoned development consultant to assist with
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt14fundraising efforts, board expansion, foundation research, and other key strategic planning activities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt152. Expanding the organizations community-based board of directors.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt16During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Institute added two additional members to its Board of Directors.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt17Expanding the Board brings more commitment to and expertise in the governance and strategic planning of the organization.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt183. Submitting proposals for new foundation grant opportunities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt19Our lead professional now spends a significant portion of her time responding to requests for proposals by various communal and family foundations.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt20During fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Avoda Institute was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Jewish Education
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt21Project in New York to continue work on an innovative arts-based program for New York area schools.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt22of this writing, Avoda has two pending grant proposals, which are focused on advocacy initiatives going forward.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt23Taken together, these funding requests total more than $60,000.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt244. Broadening donor support and reducing reliance on a single major funder.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt25Generous start-up contributions from the Carol and Arthur Spinner Charitable Fund
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt26allowed the Avoda Institue to launch successfully in the non-profit sector.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt27Our expectations for FY2014-15 are that the Spinner Charitable Funds donation amount will be reduced by more
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartIVGrp/ExplanationTxt28than 40% from FY2013-14, thus shifting the balance of funding sources across the organization.
