IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0ELEPHANT TALK RECEIVES 100% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT SOURCES. THEY RECEIVE SUBSTANTIAL NONCASH DONATIONS OF EXPIRED FOOD INVENTORY PRIMARILY FROM LARGE RETAIL GROCERY STORES AND WHOLESALE FOOD DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES SUCH AS TARGET AND WHOLE FOODS. ELEPHANT TALK DISTRIBUTES THE FOOD TO VARIOUS FOOD BANKS AND GOVERNMENT FOOD PROGRAMS IN THE DENVER METRO AREA. THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST FALLS BELOW THE 33 1/3RD PERCENTAGE BECAUSE ELEPHANT TALK HAS A FEW SIGNIFICANT FOOD DONORS AMONG THE DOZEN DONORS WHO PROVIDE THEM WITH EXPIRED FOOD INVENTORY FOR DISTRIBUTION. THE ORGANIZATION HAS CONTINUED TO SEEK NEW SOURCES OF NONCASH FOOD DONATIONS. ELEPHANT TALK'S BOARD IS MADE UP OF COMMUNITY LEADERS AND THOSE WITH SPECIFIC INTEREST IN SERVING THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE FOOD PANTRY DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM.
