| Facts And Circumstances Test |
|---|
| Part II, Line 17a - 10% - facts-and-circumstances test - 2025: The organization qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the 10% facts-and-circumstances test of Treas.Reg Section 1.170A-9(f)(3) for tax year 2025. Its public support percentage is 16.35% which is well above the 10% threshold, and the following facts and circumstances demonstrate that it is organized and operated to attract broad public support on a continuous basis: 1. The organization was formed and operates exclusively to provide STEM education and career-readiness training to underrepresented students and homeschool families. Its core programs serve a broad cross-section of the public: the after-school program provided educational support to 150 underrepresented students in STEM across four communities, and the BOCES contract delivered vocational training and industry certifications to more than 20 homeschool students in underrepresented areas. 2. It maintains a governing body that is representative of the broad interests of the public it serves. 3. It continuously solicits and receives support from both the general public, individual and corporate contributions and public entities. 4. Program participation is open to the general public and has grown significantly, as shown by the increase in program service revenue from $41,285 in 2024 to $118,242 in 2025. These factors, taken together with the public support percentage exceeding 10%, satisfy the facts-and-circumstances test. The organization therefore qualifies as publicly supported under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and is not a private foundation. |
| Return Reference | Explanation |

| Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 | Part II, Line 10 - Other income: The other income reported on Part II, line 10 consists entirely of program service revenue earned under a contract with Education ReEnvisioned BOCES (a Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services) to deliver vocational training and career-readiness classes to homeschool students in Colorado. In 2024 the organization earned $41,285 under this contract; in 2025 it earned $118,242. These amounts are reported as "other income" because they represent earned fees for educational services rather than contributions or grants. |

In 2025, the program served approximately 150 children, focusing on enhancing literacy and numeracy skills through interactive learning sessions. The program ran five days a week throughout the school calendar year and included activities such as homework assistance, reading clubs, and science workshops. As a measurable outcome, over 80% of the participants demonstrated improved academic performance in their school evaluations, based on teacher feedback and periodic assessment tests administered by the program. 2. BOCES Home School Program: This initiative supports home-schooled students by offering supplementary educational resources and social interaction opportunities. In 2025, the program served a group of 75 students, providing access to specialized materials and resources in subjects such as STEM, history, and arts. The program facilitated biweekly meet-ups where students engaged in collaborative projects and thematic workshops led by qualified instructors. As a result, students showed notable improvement in their collaborative skills and subject matter competency, as reflected in reports compiled by both the instructors and parents. These programs collectively facilitate C Cubed Training's mission to enhance educational outcomes for youth and foster a supportive learning environment in the community. |
