| SCHEDULE A PART II LINE 17A | FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST: THE CITY OF DETROIT AND ITS CORE DOWNTOWN IS BEING REVITALIZED AS A RESULT OF A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EFFORTS, OF WHICH D300 IS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTOR. D300 STARTED WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND PROGRAMMING OF CAMPUS MARTIUS AREA AND HAS EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN DETROIT. D300 CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN THESE PARKS AND HAD BEEN SEEKING AN EXPANDED BASE OF CONTRIBUTORS TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION. IN 2017, D300 HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ANOTHER DETROIT COMMUNITY PARK, BEACON PARK AND D300 RECEIVED A LARGE GRANT IN 2017 AS WELL TO PROVIDE THE INITIAL LAUNCH AND PROGRAMMING FOR THIS PARK. THESE FUNDS WERE RECEIVED INDIRECTLY FROM A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTOR TO D300. AS SUCH, WE ARE UNSURE IF SUCH GRANT WOULD QUALIFY AS AN UNUSUAL GRANT. FURTHER THE GRANT WAS AWARDED OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD (YEAR 2017 AND 2018) WHICH FURTHER EXACERBATED D300'S PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST. THIS SUPPORT CHALLENGES THE ORGANIZATION TO BROADEN ITS BASE AND ATTRACT SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO MEET ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION IS SEEKING OTHER ALTERNATIVES INCLUDING BECOMING A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION TO A MORE ESTABLISHED PUBLIC CHARITY THAT ALREADY MEETS ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST. D300 SEEKS GENERAL SUPPORT, SPONSORSHIP AND EARNED REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES FROM STAKEHOLDERS OF THE DOWNTOWN AND VISITORS TO THE PARKS. D300 HAS AN ACTIVE BOARD AND LEADERSHIP TEAM INCLUDING A DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WHO COMPLETES GRANT APPLICATIONS AND SENDS OUT REQUESTS FOR SUPPORT TO VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS. D300 CONTINUES TO REACH OUT TO STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE DOWNTOWN AND REGION FOR SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP. IN ADDITION, D300 CONTINUES TO EXPAND EARNED REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PARK RENTALS AND EVENTS. FURTHER, IN 2018, D300 HIRED A PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISER IN AN EFFORT TO DIVERSIFY REVENUE. PLEASE NOTE THAT D300 HAS A GOVERNING BODY THAT REPRESENTS THE COMMUNITY AND INCLUDES SEVERAL COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT ARE GENERALLY INVOLVED IN THE CITY'S REVITALIZATION. THIS GROUP REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. FURTHER, D300 PROVIDES FACILITIES / PARKS FOR ALL DETROIT RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO USE AND ENJOY. |
