| Facts And Circumstances Test |
|---|
| Bridge to Skate is a small, volunteer-run organization that primarily serves under-resourced youth in underserved communities. While our total revenue is modest and larger individual donations can significantly impact our support percentage, we have consistently received a broad base of support from the general public. We maintain strong public involvement through free community events, youth programming, and partnerships with local schools and service providers. Our activities are open to the public, and we actively solicit small contributions through grassroots fundraising efforts. Although our public support percentage is below 33.33 percent, it is well above 10 percent, and we meet the facts and circumstances test as a publicly supported organization due to the nature of our programs, the diversity of our donors, and the public benefit we provide. |
