IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Current Year Facts and Circumstances: PART II, SECTION C, LINE 17A, FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST:THE DECISION EDUCATION FOUNDATION (DEF) IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED SO AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT. PROGRAM REVENUES DECREASED DUE TO COVID FROM APPROXIMATELY $52K (2019) TO $18K (2020), DEMONSTRATING SCHOOL SENSITIVITY TO EXTERNAL FACTORS. DEFS EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES PURSUE OUR MISSION TO EQUIP YOUTH WITH EFFECTIVE DECISION SKILLS. THIS REVENUE COMES FROM PROGRAMS LIKE STEPS TO SUCCESS DELIVERED TO 9TH GRADERS FOR A FULL SEMESTER. DEF HAS WORKED WITH JUNCTION CITY HIGH SCHOOL IN THIS CAPACITY SINCE 2016 IN A DEEPENING RELATIONSHIP. DEF WORKS PRIMARILY WITH HIGH SCHOOLS, FOR EXAMPLE THROUGH OUR STRONGSTART PROGRAM FOR INCOMING HIGH SCHOOL 9TH GRADERS. IN SOME CASES, DEF RECEIVES REVENUES FOR THESE COURSES, AND IN OTHERS DEF FUNDS THEM COMPLETELY. IN ALL CASES, HIGH SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFUL SUPPORT IN THE FACILITIES THEY PROVIDE, THE MARKETING ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTAKE, AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT THAT RESULTS IN AN ADULT INSTRUCTOR (TYPICALLY A FRESHMEN-FACING TEACHER FROM THE SCHOOL) WORKING WITH STUDENT FACILITATORS (11TH-12TH GRADERS) WHO ARE TRAINED FOR 2-3 DAYS TO EXECUTE A CAMP OF 5 DAYS DURATION AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL. IN 2020, 60 9TH GRADERS AND 11 RISING 12TH GRADERS (2019 - 580 TOTAL STUDENTS) PARTICIPATED IN STRONGSTART AT ONE SCHOOL (2019 - 16 SCHOOLS). DEF TRAINED A TOTAL OF 167 ADULT EDUCATORS (2019- 531 EDUCATORS) AND 50 PEOPLE FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MANY OF WHOM WENT ON TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DEF.DEF MAKES CONTINUOUS EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT ITS WORK. LIKE MANY NON-PROFITS, THESE ACTIVITIES COME TO A HEAD IN THE HOLIDAY/FUNDRAISING SEASON, WHEN WE PARTICIPATE IN GIVING TUESDAY AND HAVE A YEAR-END ANNUAL FUND OUTREACH. WE SOLICIT DONATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEF BOARD MEMBERS, AND ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS MAKE PRESENTATIONS AT CONFERENCES THAT ARE INTENDED TO CREATE CONTACTS BOTH FOR PROGRAMS AND FOR FUNDING SOURCES. IN 2020, THIS INCLUDED THE OACO/OASE/OASBO EDUCATOR CONFERENCE IN OREGON. DEF DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN GRANT WRITING ACTIVITIES IN 2020.IN RECENT YEARS DEF HAS HAD AN ANNUAL GALA EVENT. DUE TO COVIDS FACE-TO-FACE EVENT RESTRICTIONS IN 2020, DEF HOSTED AN EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR TO CELEBRATE THE EDUCATORS WORKING WITH DEF WHILE ALSO EDUCATING A PUBLIC AUDIENCE. THIS EVENT IN 2019 WAS A FUNDRAISING DINNER THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER THIS DECISION ANALYSIS COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE DEFS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER COINCIDING WITH THE DEF BOARD MEETING WITH AN ATTENDANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 40 INDIVIDUALS.
