| Facts And Circumstances Test | Current Year Facts and Circumstances: PART II, SECTION C, LINE 17A, FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST:DECISION EDUCATION FOUNDATIONS (DEF) IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED SO AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT. PROGRAM REVENUES INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY $30K (2018) TO $52K (2019), DEMONSTRATING INCREASED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, PURSUING OUR MISSION TO EQUIP YOUTH WITH EFFECTIVE DECISION SKILLS. THIS REVENUE COMES FROM PROGRAMS LIKE SEMINARS DELIVERED THROUGH STANFORD UNIVERSITYS PRE-COLLEGIATE STUDIES PROGRAM, WHERE 580 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN 50 WORKSHOPS OF 2.5 HOURS LENGTH, COMPARED WITH 546 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN 46 WORKSHOPS IN 2018. DEF HAS WORKED WITH STANFORD IN THIS CAPACITY SINCE 2013 IN A DEEPENING RELATIONSHIP. DEF WORKS PRIMARILY WITH HIGH SCHOOLS, FOR EXAMPLE THROUGH OUR STRONGSTART PROGRAM FOR INCOMING HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN. IN SOME CASES, DEF RECEIVES REVENUES FOR THESE COURSES, AND IN OTHERS DEF FUNDS THEM COMPLETELY. IN ALL CASES, HIGH SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFUL SUPPORT IN THE FACILITIES THEY PROVIDE, THE MARKETING ACTIVITIES THEY UNDERTAKE, AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT THAT RESULTS IN AN ADULT INSTRUCTOR (TYPICALLY A FRESHMAN-FACING TEACHER FROM THE SCHOOL) WORKING WITH STUDENT FACILITATORS (11TH-12TH GRADERS) WHO ARE TRAINED FOR 2-3 DAYS TO EXECUTE A CAMP OF 5 DAYS DURATION AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL. IN 2019 580 FRESHMAN STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN STRONGSTART (2018 575 STUDENTS) AT 16 SCHOOLS (2018 16 SCHOOLS) ACROSS 9 SCHOOL DISTRICTS. DEF TRAINED A TOTAL OF 531 ADULT EDUCATORS (2018- 139 EDUCATORS) AND DEF ESTIMATES A TOTAL OF 29,293 TOTAL DIRECT STUDENT HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH DEF PROGRAM EDUCATION (2018- 25,238 STUDENT HOURS). DEF MAKES CONTINUOUS EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT ITS WORK. LIKE MANY NON-PROFITS, THESE ACTIVITIES COME TO A HEAD IN THE HOLIDAY/FUNDRAISING SEASON, WHEN WE PARTICIPATE IN GIVING TUESDAY AND HAVE A YEAR-END ANNUAL FUND OUTREACH. WE SOLICIT DONATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEF BOARD MEMBERS AND ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS MAKE PRESENTATIONS AT CONFERENCES THAT ARE INTENDED TO CREATE CONTACTS BOTH FOR PROGRAMS AND FOR FUNDING SOURCES. IN 2019 THIS INCLUDED THE EDUCATING FOR CAREERS CONFERENCE IN SACRAMENTO. DEF DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN GRANT WRITING ACTIVITIES IN 2019, AFTER DEF APPLIED TO CISCO FOUNDATION IN 2018 AND WAS DENIED AND APPLIED TO THE CHARLES STEWART MOTT FOUNDATION AND NEVER HEARD BACK.IN RECENT YEARS DEF HAS HAD AN ANNUAL GALA EVENT. IN 2018 THERE WAS AN EDUCATIONAL SYMPOSIUM HOSTED AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY TO CELEBRATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF DECISION ANALYSIS WORLDWIDE. DEF PARTNERED WITH STANFORDS DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING TO ORGANIZE THIS EVENT, WHICH RESULTED IN GREATER UNDERSTANDING AND RECOGNITION OF OUR WORK AND ULTIMATELY, TO INCREASED FINANCIAL SUPPORT. IN 2019 A FUNDRAISING DINNER THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER THIS DECISION ANALYSIS COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE DEFS ACCOMPLISHMENTS OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER COINCIDING WITH THE DEF BOARD MEETING WITH AN ATTENDANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 40 INDIVIDUALS. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |
