IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Over the past four years, The Policy Academies (TPA) has secured funding from some of the nation's largest private foundations and continues to expand its private foundation donor base.As a new organization, this fundraising success is significant and provides a strong base of support on which to build and diversify its funding stream. At the outset, it is important to state that private foundation support will remain the primary source of funding for TPA because of its mission and appeal to the private foundation community. With that said, we will continue to identify and solicit private foundation support on an ongoing basis as a top priority. At this time, we are in various stages in the cultivation and solicitation process towardSecuring new or increased support from several foundations. Opportunities for support from the private foundation community remains strong with room to grow.The Policy Academies also receives some funding from individual donors. While not as significant as its funding from foundations, it is a base of support on which to build. We will explore ways to increase individual support through on-line appeals and special activities targeted to engage individuals.Lastly, TPA will consider fundraising events to help diversify its funding base. Initially, we anticipate the fundraising events will be low-level and primarily held to cultivate and secure support from major individual donors.
