The organization has a broad base of donors with small and medium donations from lots of people, conducts public fundraising efforts through email and social media campaigns, receives support from multiple foundations through grant applications and is applying to our Council and Supervisorial Districts for grant support. We actively solicit contributions from a broad base of individual donors, and engage in extensive outreach efforts with our tiny team and limited bandwidth to raise awareness of period poverty, our work and encourage public involvement. We hope to expand our board but even at present it is not dominated by a single family or business. Our small diverse team reflects the communities we serve and serves thousands of low-income women and girls all across LA County through partnerships with other nonprofits embedded in the community like the LA Regional Food Bank, the Department of Public Health, the Century Regional Detention Facility, many low resourced high schools and many transitional living facilities. We have over 100 community partners. We also document donor outreach, community outreach, all our educational events and just completed an Impact Data report on our work. We do receive a significant amount of in-kind support from various manufacturers of menstrual cups so that - in addition to education - we can offer thousands of women/girls the cups for free to save them money, and increase their self-sufficiency/dignity/health/wellbeing/potential. Even though The Flow has not met the one-third public support test in this year, we operate in a manner consistent with a publicly supported charity. Given the nature of our mission and the substantial in-kind support received, The Flow relies on the facts and circumstances test to qualify as a publicly supported organization under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Our fundraising efforts and public engagement demonstrate that we are organized and operated to attract public support on an ongoing basis, ensuring our continued ability to serve the community effectively.
