Facts And Circumstances Test
AS A STRONG ORGANIZATION WITH A HISTORY OF PUBLIC SUPPORT THAT SPANS MORE THAN 150 YEARS, THE YWCA USA IS POSITIONED TO FOSTER GROWTH AND LEVERAGE THE POWERFUL WORK OF ITS 1300 YWCA SERVICE SITE LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. FIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS1- A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE YWCA USA IS GAINED FROM ENDOWMENT INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS. ENDOWMENT FUNDS CONSIST OF GIFTS FROM INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH REPRESENTS PUBLIC SUPPORT RAISED OVER THE COURSE OF MANY DECADES. A SMALL PORTION OF THIS ENDOWMENT IS UTILIZED ANNUALLY FOR OPERATING EXPENSES, THE VAST MAJORITY CONTINUALLY INVESTED TO ENSURE FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION.2- SOURCES OF SUPPORT FOR THE YWCA USA INCLUDE A LARGE AND DIVERSE GROUP OF SEVERAL THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS, FOUNDATIONS, BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. GIFTS RANGE FROM SMALL TO MAJOR, AND INCLUDE GRANTS AND LEGACIES. 3- THE YWCA USA'S NATIONAL COORDINATING BOARD (NCB) CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF LEAD STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ELECTED FROM EACH OF NINE ORGANIZATIONAL REGIONS. ITS CHARGE DOES NOT INCLUDE FUNDRAISING. THE NCB IS VERY AWARE OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORT ISSUE AND IS WORKING WITH STAFF LEADERSHIP TO IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS. AS ONE EXAMPLE, WE ARE ASSEMBLING AN ADVISORY GROUP WHICH WILL BE TASKED EXPLICITLY WITH RAISING PUBLIC SUPPORT. 4- THE YWCA USA PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT AND SERVICES TO LOCAL YWCA AFFILIATES (NINE REGIONAL OFFICES AND 1300 YWCA SERVICE SITES) AND THE WORLD YWCA, BOTH OF WHICH PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON A CONTINUAL BASIS. THE YWCA USA ALSO PROVIDES RELATED ADVOCACY AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. TODAY WE ARE EXPANDING THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN TO ENGAGE NEW CONSTITUENTS, WHO WE EXPECT TO PARTICIPATE AS VOLUNTEERS AND FUNDERS AT ALL LEVELS. 5- WE EXPECT TO SEE A REFLECTION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN THE FORM OF INCREASED PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE COMING YEARS. NATIONAL ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES HAVE DEPRESSED GIVING ACROSS THE NONPROFIT SECTOR.ACTIONS TAKEN, PLANS AND STRATEGYA STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO INCREASE PUBLIC SUPPORT FUNDING. KEY ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT THIS STRATEGY. WE ARE CONTINUING TO FOCUS OUR EFFORTS THAT WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN PUBLIC SUPPORT FUNDING. SOME OF THE ACTIONS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN ARE: GROWING AND DIVERSIFYING THE FUNDING BASE TO INCLUDE A NEW GENERATION OF PHILANTHROPISTS, RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS WITH LAPSED DONORS, INCREASING NATIONAL VISIBILITY THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKING, CELEBRITY SUPPORT AND TRADITIONAL MEDIA AND LEVERAGING OUR HISTORIC BRAND. THESE STRATEGIES, ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN COLLABORATION ACROSS OUR NETWORK AND OTHERS, WILL GENERATE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS AND AGENCIES.
