Facts And Circumstances Test
Current Year Facts and Circumstances: TWG/Not In Our Town is a national movement to guide, support, and inspire individuals and communities to work together to stop hate and build safe, inclusive environments for all. Storytelling that encourages local action in communities and schools is central to our strategy. Films and online media that focus on solutions are combined with on-the-ground coaching and engagement tools for communities and schools. Partner groups include public media, civil society and faith-based organizations, governments and law enforcement, cultural groups, educational institutions, and business associations. Additional information about the organization, its mission, and 2017 accomplishments are detailed later in Schedule O. While TWG/NIOT has missed its target of 33 public support in 2017, we believe the organization still overwhelmingly fulfills its purpose and description as a public charity, as detailed through the five Facts and Circumstances categories below. 1 - 10 OF SUPPORT THRESHOLD: In 2017, The Working Group received 31.49% of its support from public sources, including grant funds from the Department of Justice, and more than $50,000 in support from 203 individual contributors. TWG/NIOT has expanded its support in recent years to include a significant portion of government grant funding and is pursuing additional such funding moving forward. NIOT is pursuing multiple avenues to raise its public support levels above 33 of total revenues. 2 - ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: The Working Group/Not In Our Town operates chiefly as the hub of a confederation of grass-roots organizations and groups dedicated to increasing broad inclusion of underrepresentated groups within community and school life, with the objective of increasing awareness and acceptance of marginalized groups and decreasing the incidence of hate crimes, bullying, and similar acts within communities and schools. The Not In Our Town/Not in Our School movement includes more than 70 local groups across the nation, as well as a number of international groups in Russia, the Ukraine, and Central Europe. Not in Our Town regularly solicits donations through its 20,000-member email list and through direct outreach to 350 previous individual donors increasing in 2017 to more than 600. NIOT's website receives more than 1 million visits yearly, and specific inclusion and anti-bullying campaigns through partnerships with groups like the Golden State Warriors help raise awareness about the organization. NIOT also participates in appeals such as GivingTuesday, SiliconValleyGives, and the Combined Federal Campaign. NIOT's partnerships with local media most public radio and television span the nation and have promoted thousands of film screenings of NIOT productions. NIOT's PBS/public television films and more than 100 additional video resources provide real-world guidance on how communities, schools, and public institutions can implement inclusion, anti-hate, and anti-bullying measures, and how law enforcement can more effectively work with communities and groups. Gold Star Cities is NIOT's latest initiative, to advance a culture of inclusion within municipal areas while providing a framework for promoting out-group participation in both the public and private spheres. This framework involves public government and institutions cities, police, civil society social, charitable, religious and other community organizations, and private sector groups business associations, labor organizations to examine current organizational culture and practices and to make meaningful improvements in awareness, policies, regulations, training, and other practices to broaden participation and promote inclusion of previously underrepresented or excluded groups within their cities. GSC will also gather information on program inputs, outputs, and outcomes to refine and improve the frameworks over time. Currently in its pilot phase, Gold Star Cities should help to significantly increase awareness of NIOT and provide a promising source for new individual and governmental support. Because GSC provides an opportunity to measure change at the local level, social science faculties and organizations are increasingly interested in the program. TWG/NIOT is also exploring working with fundraising professionals to expand and refine its general fundraising capabilities going forward. 3 - SOURCES OF SUPPORT: TWG operates with a very lean budget of under $1 million per year and receives financial support from a broad range of donors and supporters, including a number of private foundations (all unrestricted funds), the Federal Department of Justice's COPS Office (law enforcement initiatives), outside groups such as the Golden State Warriors, and hundreds of individual donors. With the exception of federal grant funds in support of specific law-enforcement-related program outcomes, funding is for general operations, and private donors, including private foundations, do not direct policy or operations of the organization. Non-financial support is extremely broad, through partnerships with municipalities in Ohio, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Michigan and Iowa; public media/PBS stations across the country; a network of 125 schools involved in Not in Our School programs; law enforcement organizations (DOJ COPS, the International Association of Chiefs of Police Civil Rights Committee, police training academies, a network of 150 law enforcement advisors); religious groups; and other civil society support groups. 4 - REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: The Working Group is governed by a board of directors representing a broad cross-section of media, public involvement, business, and civil society leaders. The board sets policy and direction. The Executive Producer acts as Executive Director and reports directly to the Board. No representatives of major donors (such as private foundations) are represented on the Board. 5 - AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES; PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS OR POLICIES: TWG/NIOT is designed as a catalyzing organization, necessarily dependent upon the participation and support of the communities and groups it seeks to assist in efforts to create safe and inclusive communities. NIOT's films both document real-world situations across the country and work with communities to fashion instructive documentary narratives on how communities can react to and combat hate crimes, and to build inclusion. NIOT's vast library of resources - including films, issue videos, use and training guides, partner profiles, maps, assessment tools, change frameworks, and issue papers -- are available free to the public through NIOT's websites. Developed and informed by the experiences and voices of the various target communities, NIOT's materials are used within communities and schools, and by law enforcement, prosecutor's offices, and local government across the country. Public media partners across the nation, including PBS, support screenings of NIOT films and host related community discussion sessions. NIOT holds national conferences and gatherings that bring together voices and viewpoints from all sectors of society. NIOT staff and affiliate coaches also provide training and other assistance to schools, law enforcement organizations, city and town governments, and other organizations seeking ways to reduce hate crimes and bullying and to increase diversity, inclusion, and community safety.

Facts And Circumstances Test

Current Year Facts and Circumstances: TWG/Not In Our Town is a national movement to guide, support, and inspire individuals and communities to work together to stop hate and build safe, inclusive environments for all. Storytelling that encourages local action in communities and schools is central to our strategy. Films and online media that focus on solutions are combined with on-the-ground coaching and engagement tools for communities and schools. Partner groups include public media, civil society and faith-based organizations, governments and law enforcement, cultural groups, educational institutions, and business associations. Additional information about the organization, its mission, and 2017 accomplishments are detailed later in Schedule O.
