| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE CORPORATION IS ORGANIZED AND WILL BE OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR "CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL- AND "SOCIAL WELFARE" PURPOSES WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTIONS 501(C)(3) AND 501(C)(4), RESPECTIVELY, OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. TO THIS END, THE NONPROFIT SHALL UNDERTAKE ACTIVITIES TO: SUPPORT THE PROVISION OF QUALITY AND DIVERSE INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA CONTENT AND CAPABILITIES TO EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DATA SERVICES AND INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO PROVIDED TO ACCREDITED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE FORMAL EDUCATION OF ENROLLED STUDENTS. FOSTER OPEN, HONEST AND OUTSPOKEN MEDIA THAT HELP USERS TO BE A POPULAR DEMOCRATIC CHECK ON BOTH GOVERNMENT POWER AND CONCENTRATED PRIVATE PRIVILEGE. EXPAND THE DISSEMINATION OF MEDIA, AND POINTS OF VIEW CARRIED BY THEM, THAT OFFER DISSENTING, ALTERNATIVE, OR CRITICALLY CONSTRUCTIVE INFORMATION AND CONCEPTS TO THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS IN BOTH LOCAL AND GLOBAL CONTEXTS; ENGAGE IN ADDITONAL SOCIAL WELFARE, CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, AND/OR EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AS ARE CONSISTENT WITH OPERATIONS THAT MAY BE UNDERTAKEN BY ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN, AND THUS EXEMPT FROM TAXATION UNDER, SECTION 501(C)(4) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AS NOW ENACTED OR HEREAFTER AMENDED. |
| FORM 990 | BACKGROUND THESE ADDITIONAL, VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURES ARE INTENDED TO GIVE THE INTERESTED READER GREATER INSIGHT INTO HOW AND WHY USA INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION D/B/A VOQAL USA OPERATES ITS NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES, BOTH THROUGH ITS OWN EFFORTS AND THROUGH THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES OF WHICH VOQAL USA IS PART OWNER. ON BEHALF OF A NUMBER OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, VOQAL USA'S PRESIDENT, JOHN SCHWARTZ, LED AN EFFORT TO APPLY FOR WHAT WERE THEN REFERRED TO AS INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION FIXED SERVICE (ITFS ) LICENSES FROM THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION. THOSE APPLICATIONS WERE ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED IN THE EARLY 1980S. MR. SCHWARTZ BELIEVED THAT SEPARATE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH LOCAL BOARDS OF DIRECTORS WOULD BETTER SERVE THE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES COVERED BY THESE LICENSES. IN THE END, FIVE NONPROFITS LED BY MR. SCHWARTZ APPLIED FOR AND RECEIVED A TOTAL OF 11 ITFS LICENSES. TODAY, JOHN SCHWARTZ REMAINS THE PRESIDENT OF THOSE FIVE NONPROFITS, WHICH WILL HEREAFTER BE REFERRED TO AS THE VOQAL NONPROFITS. VOQAL USA IS ONE OF THOSE FIVE. FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES, VOQAL USA PROVIDED FREE EDUCATIONAL VIDEO PROGRAMMING TO SCHOOLS VIA ITS FCC-LICENSED ITFS STATION. WHILE DOING SO, IT SHARED SOME OF ITS OVERHEAD AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS WITH THE OTHER FOUR VOQAL NONPROFITS, WHICH WERE PROVIDING VERY SIMILAR SERVICE TO THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS APPROACH RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS, ALLOWING VOQAL USA TO DELIVER BETTER EDUCATIONAL SERVICE. THE SHARING OF PERSONNEL AND OTHER RESOURCES AMONG THE VOQAL NONPROFITS WAS THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WOULD LATER BECOME EBS SUPPORT SERVICES, LLC (EBSSS) - THE UMBRELLA SERVICE ORGANIZATION THAT TODAY PROVIDES PERSONNEL AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO ALL FIVE VOQAL NONPROFITS. TO EXPAND THEIR ABILITY TO SERVE EDUCATION AND OTHERWISE BENEFIT THE PUBLIC, THE VOQAL NONPROFITS ENTERED INTO VARIOUS SPECTRUM USE AGREEMENTS WITH COMMERCIAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS OPERATORS. VOQAL ALLOWED COMMERCIAL FIRMS TO USE THEIR ITFS, AND, LATER, EDUCATIONAL BROADBAND SERVICE (EBS) EXCESS SPECTRUM CAPACITY IN THEIR WIRELESS NETWORKS. IN EXCHANGE, THESE AGREEMENTS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL BENEFITS THROUGH SPECTRUM ROYALTY PAYMENTS, AS WELL AS MATERIAL IN-KIND EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS SUCH AS HIGH- SPEED BROADBAND INTERNET ACCOUNTS. THE VOQAL NONPROFITS' CURRENT SPECTRUM AGREEMENTS ARE WITH A SPRINT SUBSIDIARY. WITH THE INCREASED RESOURCES AFFORDED BY THESE MOST RECENT SPECTRUM AGREEMENTS, THE VOQAL NONPROFITS, INCLUDING VOQAL USA, EXPANDED THE NUMBER AND REACH OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO INCLUDE NEW EDUCATION VENTURES, AFFORDABLE INTERNET SERVICE FOR SCHOOLS AND NONPROFITS, CASH GRANTS, EBS SPECTRUM ADVOCACY, AND MORE. AS IT EXPANDED, VOQAL USA CONTINUED TO SHARE RESOURCES WITH THE OTHER VOQAL NONPROFITS. FOR THIS REASON, IN 2009 THE FIVE VOQAL NONPROFITS FORMED EBS SUPPORT SERVICES, LLC. VOQAL USA OWNS 39.47% OF EBS SUPPORT SERVICES, LLC AND REIMBURSES IT FOR THE COST OF LEASED PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS SHARED OFFICE SPACE AND EQUIPMENT. EBSSS, LLC, AS WELL AS THE OTHER LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES LISTED BELOW, ARE ALL OWNED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE VOQAL NONPROFITS; THERE ARE NO OTHER OWNERS. IN 2013, TO EXTEND THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE VOQAL NONPROFITS AND GAIN BETTER PUBLIC RECOGNITION FOR SHARED WORK, EBSSS SECURED THE "VOQAL" TRADEMARK AND THE FIVE NONPROFITS, INCLUDING VOQAL USA, ADOPTED THE VOQAL BRAND. VOQAL HAS STRIVED TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF EBS, FROM ITS BEGINNINGS PROVIDING FREE, ITFS VIDEO TO SCHOOLS TO RECENT EFFORTS TO SUPPORT CHANGE- MAKERS IN EDUCATION. WHILE SOME VOQAL USA PROGRAMS SERVE WHAT MANY WOULD CONSIDER TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL ENTITIES LIKE K-12 SCHOOLS, VOQAL EMBRACES A BROADER VIEW OF EDUCATION AND AIMS TO ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE TO FOSTER A STRONGER, HEALTHIER DEMOCRACY. OUR PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN AIMED AT THE ROOT CAUSES THAT BAR ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE BOTH IN AND OUT OF TRADITIONAL BRICK AND MORTAR INSTITUTIONS. EXAMPLES OF MORE TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE OUR CORE BROADBAND INTERNET ACCOUNTS AND MOBILE CITIZEN'S EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET BOTH AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME. VOQAL EDUCATION'S SUPPORT OF THE CRASH COURSE GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS SERIES ON YOUTUBE AND INDEPENDENT SPECTRUM'S EFFORTS TO PASS THROUGH ADDITIONAL EDUCATION BENEFITS TO MORE EBS LICENSEES ARE ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES OF THE EDUCATIONAL NATURE OF OUR WORK. EXAMPLES OF SOME OF OUR LESS TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL ENDEAVORS INCLUDE THE EFFORTS OF VOQAL FUND AND VOQAL FELLOWSHIP, WHICH ARE RELATED TO EDUCATION IN THE BROADER SENSE OF SUPPORTING THE DISSEMINATION OF ALTERNATIVE IDEAS AND BUILDING A MORE ENGAGED AND EDUCATED PUBLIC. A DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC VOQAL USA PROGRAMS IS BELOW. CORE BROADBAND INTERNET ACCOUNTS - OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY BY VOQAL USA AND ADMINISTERED BY EBSSS, LLC. VOQAL USA PROVIDES 38 SCHOOLS IN THE METRO AREAS COVERED BY ITS LICENSES WITH 544 FREE AND 71 SUBSIDIZED HIGH-SPEED WIRELESS BROADBAND INTERNET ACCOUNTS. THE SCHOOLS ARE BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, SERVICING GRADES K-12. THE ACCOUNTS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. ACCOUNTS PLACED WITH STUDENTS ALLOW THOSE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE SCHOOLWORK ONLINE AT HOME THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO BE COMPLETED AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES, COFFEE SHOPS WITH WI-FI ACCESS OR OTHER PLACES THAT MIGHT NOT BE CONVENIENT DURING NON- SCHOOL HOURS. WE ESTIMATE THAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THESE FREE AND SUBSIDIZED ACCOUNTS IS OVER 360,000 ANNUALLY. VOQAL EDUCATION - OPERATED BY VOQAL USA AND OTHER VOQAL NONPROFITS; ADMINISTERED BY EBSSS, LLC VOQAL EDUCATION IS PROUD TO BE A FUNDER OF CRASH COURSE - GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS. CRASH COURSE IS AN EDUCATIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL FEATURING 10- MINUTE VIDEOS THAT CONDENSE COMPLEX TOPICS INTO QUIRKY, ENGAGING TUTORIALS. CRASH COURSE'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL HAS NEARLY 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, AND THE VIDEOS ARE SHOWN IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AS WELL AS WATCHED BY THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. VOQAL USA PARTLY FUNDED CRASH COURSE'S GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS SERIES, WHICH HAS BEEN VIEWED MILLIONS OF TIMES ACROSS ITS 50 EPISODES. THE EDUCATION VENTURE FUND (EVF) WAS ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE CENTRAL GOAL OF MEASURABLY REDUCING OPPORTUNITY GAPS IN EDUCATION BY INVESTING IN EARLY-STAGE FOR-PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT ENTITIES. VOQAL USA HELPS COVER THE OPERATING COSTS OF THE EVF AND INVESTED IN THREE COMPANIES THROUGH THE EVF IN A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 106,000, AS WELL AS ONE NONPROFIT GRANT FOR 26,500 IN ITS FISCAL YEAR 2017 (THE 12 MONTHS ENDING MARCH 31, 2017). THE INVESTMENTS CONSIST OF FOLLOW-ON INVESTMENTS IN TWO PORTFOLIO COMPANIES-ONE THAT IDENTIFIES, MAPS AND DEVELOPS NON-COGNITIVE SKILLS AND A SECOND THAT PROVIDES TEACHERS WITH RESEARCH-BASED METHODS TO WORK WITH SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS-AS WELL AS A NEW INVESTMENT IN A COMPANY THAT ORGANIZES AND PRESENTS TEACHERS WITH ACTIONABLE DATA TO DRIVE STUDENT LEARNING. THE GRANT WAS TO SUPPORT AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ASSISTING PARENTS FIND APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN. MOBILE CITIZEN, LLC - OWNED IN PART (55.72%) BY VOQAL USA MOBILE CITIZEN, LLC IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE VOQAL NONPROFITS' CURRENT SPECTRUM AGREEMENTS AND THE BROADBAND INTERNET ACCOUNTS RECEIVED AS PART OF THOSE AGREEMENTS. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF PROVIDING INTERNET SERVICE INDIVIDUALLY, THE VOQAL NONPROFITS FORMED MOBILE CITIZEN, LLC TO PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF SOME OR ALL OF ITS MEMBERS' BROADBAND ACCOUNTS. MOBILE CITIZEN, LLC SERVES SCHOOLS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCIES AND HAS FOCUSED MUCH OF ITS EFFORT ON BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. MOBILE CITIZEN OFFERS ONE OF THE LOWEST COST MOBILE BROADBAND RATE PLANS AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCIES NATIONWIDE, WITH NO DATA CAPS AND NO THROTTLING. MOBILE CITIZEN WIRELESS BROADBAND SERVICE COSTS APPROXIMATELY ONE-FIFTH THE AMOUNT OF ITS COMMERCIAL EQUIVALENTS, AND IS PROVIDED FREE IN SOME CASES.
