BENEFITED FROM INCOME AS A RESULT OF THE PGA'S LIBERTY MUTUAL LEGENDS OF GOLF TOURNAMENT. THAT INCOME WAS DONATED TO A WIDE VARIETY OF CHARITIES WITH PROGRAMS BENEFITING THE SAVANNAH AREA COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. THAT EVENT ENDED IN SAVANNAH IN 2015, AS DID THE ASSOCIATED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED. THE COVID PANDEMIC HAD A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE FOUNDATION'S CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER REVENUES IN 2020. COVID CHANGED OR ELIMINATED MANY OF OUR BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE FOUNDATION, THUS LOWERING OUR 5-YEAR AVERAGE. LEADERSHIP SAVANNAH, A BROAD-BASED COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM WAS POSTPONED FOR MUCH OF 2020 RESULTING IN STARTING THE NEXT CLASS IN FEB OF 2021. THIS ELIMINATED THE INCOME FOR THE NEW CLASS THAT WOULD HAVE HIT THE 2020 FOUNDATION FINANCIALS AND MOVED IT INTO 2021. FUNDRAISING RELATED TO THIS INITIATIVE INCREASED IN 2021 OVER PRIOR YEARS. WE EXPECT AN INCREASE IN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS INITIATIVE IN FUTURE YEARS AS WELL. MANY SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMS WERE ALSO POSTPONED IN 2020 AND 2021 BUT RESUMED IN 2022. IN 2021 AN ANNUAL FUNDRAISER GOLF TOURNAMENT WAS ADDED TO THE FOUNDATION TO RAISE FUNDS FOR OUR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. ALSO, IN 2021 A SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER WAS INITIATED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF A LONGTIME SUPPORTER OF LEADERSHIP SAVANNAH. IN SUMMARY, AS A RESULT OF THE MASSIVE BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS FROM THE COVID PANDEMIC, OUR SAVANNAH AREA CHAMBER FOUNDATION, INC LOST A VARIETY OF REVENUE SOURCES RESULTING IN DIMINISHED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS. LATE FY2021 BEGAN THE RESTORATION OF THESE SOURCES OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ALONG WITH ADDING NEW SOURCES, AND WE HAVE PRIORITIZED REBUILDING OUR CHARITABLE PERCENTAGE TO THE REQUIRED THRESHOLD, THOUGH EXPECT IT TO TAKE TIME, AND LIKELY THROUGH THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THE 5-YEAR AVERAGE PUBLIC SUPPORT RATIO ENDING 12/31/2023 IS 21.25%, AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE 5-YEAR AVERAGE PUBLIC SUPPORT RATIO ENDING 12/31/2022 OF 18.12%,ILLUSTRATING THE POSITIVE MOMENTUM.
