ALTHOUGH FOR THE YEAR ENDED ON JUNE 30, 2021, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ORGANIZATION DIPPED BELOW THE 33 1/3% MARK, IT NEVERTHELESS, WAS WELL ABOVE THE 10% PUBLIC FINANCIAL SUPPORT LIMITATION REQUIRED UNDER FOR THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST DESCRIBED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). DUE TO THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE ORGANIZATION IS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT GAVE RISE TO THE SHORT TERM DECREASED FOCUS ON FUND RAISING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. BE THAT AS IT MAY, POST-PANDEMIC, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND WITH THE EFFORTS OF A RECENTLY HIRED GRANT WRITER, THE ORGANIZATION HAS RAMPED-UP ITS EFFORTS IN RAISING PUBLIC SUPPORT, SUCH AS PLANNING ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND APPLYING FOR GOVERNMENT GRANTS TO INCREASE THE PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION THEREFORE BELIEVES THAT WITHIN THE VERY SHORT TERM, IT WILL BE ABLE TO TURN THINGS AROUND AND ONCE AGAIN MEET THE 33 1/3% TEST AND EXPECTS TO CONTINUE TO DO SO WELL INTO THE FUTURE. IN ADDITION, EVEN DURING THE RECENT PERIOD WHERE THE PERCENTAGE OF ACTIVE PUBLIC FINANCIAL SUPPORT DECREASED, THE ORGANIZATION SUSTAINED ITS ACTIVITIES THROUGH INVESTMENT INCOME EARNED ON CONTRIBUTIONS ORIGINALLY GIVEN BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. FOR OVER 50 YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS WORKED HAND-IN-HAND WITH NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO ASSIST PRIMARILY LOW INCOME, NEW YORK CITY STUDENTS ATTEND HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS AND COUNSELING AND HOPES TO CONTINUE DOING SO WELL INTO THE FUTURE. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THE ORGANIZATION HAS FIVE TO SEVEN ACTIVE CLASSES OF FIFTEEN TO TWENTY STUDENTS TO WHOM IT OFFERS MENTORING AND/OR SCHOLARSHIP AID TO. FURTHER, THE BROADER PUBLIC HAS CONTINUOUSLY DEMONSTRATED ITS SUPPORT FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS MISSION WITH MORE THAN 100 VOLUNTEERS WHO, AFTER BEING SCREENED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (IF PROVIDING IN-PERSON MENTORING), ALTRUISTICALLY DONATE AT LEAST AN HOUR OF THEIR TIME WEEKLY TO MENTOR THE STUDENTS THAT THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES RESOURCES TO. THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PERSONNEL HAVE ALSO CONTINUALLY SUPPORTED THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH WORKING HAND-IN HAND WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND PROVIDING FREE USE OF SEVERAL CITY OF NEW YORK SCHOOL FACILITIES AND SCHOOL RESOURCES LIKE COMPUTERS. THUS, GIVEN THE FACT THAT (I) THE ORGANIZATION HAD HISTORICALLY SATISFIED THE 33 1/3% TEST, (II) EXPECTS TO DO SO AGAIN IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, (III) HAD OVER $50,000 OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED ON JUNE 30, 2023, WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT OF OVER $109,000 FOR THE PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2023 THROUGH MARCH 14, 2024, (IV) THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO BENEFIT THE BROAD AND DIVERSE NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC, AND (V) THE PUBLIC AND CITY OF NEW YORK HAVE CONTINUOUSLY SUPPORTED THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS MISSION THROUGH VOLUNTEERING AND PROVIDING SPACE AND OTHER RESOURCES, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT HAS SATISFIED THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST DESCRIBED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3). ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION IS A PUBLIC CHARITY FOR THE YEAR ENDED ON JUNE 30, 2023.
