Form 990, Part XI, Line 10 OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, OUR ORGANIZATION HAS FACED SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL CHALLENGES DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC LED TO THE LOSS OF 15 FULL-TIME TEACHERS, AND THE DIFFICULTY IN REHIRING STAFF IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR IMPACTED OUR OPERATIONS. DURING THIS TIME, WE ALSO FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING NEW SCIENCE PROGRAMS, RELOCATED TO A NEW LAB, AND ESTABLISHED A VIRTUAL RECORDING STUDIO, ALL OF WHICH ADDED TO OUR COSTS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAD TO ADAPT TO MAJOR CURRICULUM CHANGES IN NORTH CAROLINA, FLORIDA, AND OTHER STATES. THESE COMBINED CHALLENGES RESULTED IN DECREASED INCOME FROM GRANTS, DONATIONS, AND PROGRAM FEES, WHILE INCREASING OUR CREDIT CARD BALANCES AND LOANS. DESPITE THESE SETBACKS, WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING TO REBUILD OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH THROUGH STRENGTHENING FUNDING EFFORTS, IMPROVING PROGRAM EFFICIENCY, AND CAREFULLY MANAGING OUR EXPENSES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO OVERCOMING THESE CHALLENGES AND POSITIONING THE ORGANIZATION FOR LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY.
