THE FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS AT LEAST 10%. 2. THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MENORAH FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT EFFORTS ARE BEING REPOSITIONED BY THE CREATION OF A GROUP OF YOUNG COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WILL SPEARHEAD NEW FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS AND STRATEGIES. THIS GROUP IS USING A COMBINATION OF PERSON TO PERSON, ON-LINE, AND EVENT DRIVEN EFFORTS. WE EXPECT THE ORGANIZATION WILL GREATLY EXPAND ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.3. AT 15.94% FOR THE TAX YEAR ENDING 12/31/2024 THE FOUNDATION IS ABOVE THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 10%. 4. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM A VARYING NUMBER OF UNRELATED DONORS YEAR TO YEAR. DURING THE PERIOD 2020 - 2024, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM OVER 80 INDIVIDUALS. THE HISTORY OF THE MENORAH FOUNDATION TRACES BACK TO A COMMUNITY EFFORT TO ESTABLISH A PUBLIC CHARITY THAT ALLOWS FOR THE CONTINUING SUPPORT OF ITS CAUSES. THE FOUNDATION WAS NOT ESTABLISHED BY A FEW DONORS OR A FAMILY EFFORT BUT RATHER A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS DEDICATED TO HELPING CREATE AN ENDOWMENT. WE PLAN TO CONTINUE EXECUTING PROGRAMS THAT CAN GENERATE THIS LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AND MORE ON AN ONGOING BASIS.5. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD IS BEING RE-ENERGIZED BY A YOUNGER GROUP OF COMMUNTIY MEMBERS TO REPRESENT THE BROADER INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. 6. THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMS PROVIDE GREAT BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC.
