THIS MISSION DIRECTLY SERVES A SIGNIFICANT SEGMENT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, ALIGNING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF A PUBLIC CHARITY. 3. CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING SOLICITATION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: OUR ORGANIZATION ACTIVELY SOLICITS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES. THIS INCLUDES: CONDUCTING REGULAR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS AIMED AT INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATIONS, AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER CHARITABLE AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS. UTILIZING MEDIA, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO RAISE AWARENESS AND GATHER SUPPORT FOR OUR PROGRAMS. 4. ATTRACTING PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST: THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES HAVE CONSISTENTLY DRAWN INTEREST AND PARTICIPATION FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC 5. BENEFITS TO A BROAD SEGMENT OF THE PUBLIC: THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO BENEFIT A BROAD AND DIVERSE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. 6. PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY: THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY THROUGH: REGULAR REPORTING TO DONORS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND RELEVANT GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES.

BOARD AND LEADERSHIP REPRESENTATION: THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPOSED OF INDIVIDUALS WHO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC.

THIS SELECTION DOES NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS. UPON REVIEW, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD HAVE SELECTED THE 10% FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST, AS THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THIS ALLOWS THE ORGANIZATION TO QUALIFY AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY EVEN THOUGH ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS BETWEEN 10% AND 33 1/3%, BASED ON ITS RELIANCE ON THE NATURE OF ITS ACTIVITIES, SOURCES OF SUPPORT, AND OTHER RELEVANT CIRCUMSTANCES. TO CORRECT THIS ERROR, THE RETURN HAS BEEN AMENDED TO REFLECT THE PROPER SELECTION OF THE 10% FACTS-AND-CIRCUMSTANCES TEST.
