MissionTHE FOUNDATION is the first logic-based organization fundamentally designed to save the world. Specifically, our stated purpose is to end all preventable ailments throughout the world by giving every individual an equal opportunity to realize their maximum potential through self-sufficiency. Everything we do is guided by The Pono's 5 Elements of Wisdom: Logical Perseverance; Logical Empathy; Perpetual Self-Improvement; The Search for Truth; Enlighten Future Generations. These guiding principles allow us to catalyze empowerment by means of self-sufficiency, which is the key to enabling the oppressed, exploited, and disadvantaged to develop the cognitive competencies needed to save themselves. Achieving our grandiose vision will result in relief of the impoverished, the equalizing of the underprivileged, the diminution of the burdens of government, the elimination of societal deterioration, and allow for sustainable population growth.MissionDesc

We achieved an estimated 33% completion towards our goal; however, after careful cogitation, Tanzania was eliminated as a viable location. Expenses: In-kind Grants - $85; Office Expenses - $1,832; Occupancy (minus services) - $5,850; Insurance - $1,160; Travel (plus fees & gas) - $836; Govt Fees - $600.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule A, Part II, Line 6(f)AMENDED: An important fact to be considered is the declaration of a national state of emergency by the president of the United States on 13 March 2020. Most countries throughout the world also implemented their own strict emergency regulations and mandates. During this time, travel and commerce were drastically constricted, if not completely halted. Tens of thousands, if not millions, of organizations (mostly small businesses) shuttered their doors permanently. Transactions with entities (including government bodies) became exceptionally difficult on a good day. Tanzania was not our original choice, but due to the fact that our intended destination country, Malawi (The Warm Heart of Africa), closed its borders and implemented exceptionally irrational, Draconian measures, we compromised and attempted to do our charitable work in Tanzania. We would NOT have chosen Tanzania if not for the world response to the common coronavirus. The U.S. state of emergency wasn't lifted until 10 April 2023. No organization, especially a start-up organization, can be legally expected to satisfy strict time constraints during a declared national state of emergency; therefore, the years 2021 & 2022, as well as the first half of 2023, should be disregarded when performing public support calculations.
Schedule A, Part II, Line 10AMENDED: Endowment (Other Income) total mark-to-market losses were $(49,829), but reported as zero. Income from The Endowment is now classified as "Other Income". Because The Endowment is managed completely by volunteers and exists to further the exempt goals of THE FOUNDATION, it is classified as related support. Due to the fact that it is a regularly carried on "business", the assets sold are not capital assets. SOURCE: "Property used in the trade or business of a taxpayer of a character which is subject to the allowance for depreciation provided in section 167 and real property used in the trade or business of a taxpayer is excluded from the term capital assets." [1.1221-1(b)]
Schedule A, Part II, Line 11(f)AMENDED: An important fact to be considered is the cumulative losses of The Endowment. The recommendations from Schedule A, Section B, Line 9 have been applied to Line 10 by entering zero for losses; however, it is a well established precedence that trading losses can be carried over from previous years using mark-to-market accounting procedures. It is unreasonable to prohibit applying these principles to the trading losses of The Endowment. If proper mark-to-market rules were followed, cumulative total losses for The Endowment were $(49,829).

Schedule D, Part V, Line 1gAMENDED: Immaterial changes to contributions, gains, expenses, and expenditures. The end of year balance of The Endowment remains the same.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4AMENDED: Empowering Self-sufficiency - The Endowment: This FOUNDATION Solution is a "quasi-endowment" established by the Founder; it is a self-sufficient fund(s) that exists as a learning platform for the disadvantaged to empower their financial self-sufficiency. The initial fund is an actively managed vehicle that attempts to maximize alpha using a proprietary trading methodology. The Endowment may take years (even decades) to properly establish itself. Eventually, excess returns will be used to fund program services, which directly furthers THE FOUNDATION's exempt purposes by teaching self-sufficiency.

Specific Services ProvidedSaving Children: THE FOUNDATION thoroughly evaluated Tanzania as a potential site for a children's home. We achieved 33% completion towards this goal; however, after careful cogitation, Tanzania was eliminated as a viable location. Empowering the Disadvantaged: THE FOUNDATION contracted approximately 10 local service professionals in Tanzania at above market wages including caretaker, security, carpenter, electricians, plumbers, welder, and tailors. The vast majority of total 2021 expenditures were made in Tanzania. Total expenditures of THE FOUNDATION = $31,227, minus Wearables ($36), minus CO Gvnt Fees ($10), minus U.S. Hardware ($20), minus IT Service Fees ($341), minus Software ($117), minus U.S. Postage ($54), minus The Endowment Expenses ($1,742).SpecificServicesProvidedTxt

ExplanationAMENDED (immaterial): Previously, the loan balance owed to the Founder was carried over in Tanzanian Shillings (it was originally recorded in Tsh), which created additional accounting problems in the form of unrealized currency exchange losses. To remedy this problem, the outstanding loan was converted to USD using an exchange ratio from October 2021 (immediately after the Founder traveled back to the United States [$1.00 = .000454 Tsh]). The resultant liability to the THE FOUNDATION increased by 4% to $21,731. The accounting department will also consistently use a 'nearest in time' ratio to calculate currency exchange values in the future.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Header, Line BAMENDED: This 2021 990 form is being amended to reflect new information, which changes how we interpret the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 26, 1.509(a)(3) and related provisions of the regulations. The substantial contribution by the Founder was assumed to be the first of similar annual donations; however, it has become clear through the past couple years that this donation was abnormally unusual in its amount. Furthermore, the inclusion of this contribution in the proscribed support tests would have a severely adverse affect on the status of THE FOUNDATION. In Schedule L, a liability to the Founder was adjusted to properly account for currency exchange errors, resulting in an a liability increase of 4% to $21,731. Given that The Endowment has always been a related program service activity (actively managed by the Founder, who will always be an unpaid volunteer, as is mandated in the governing documents of THE FOUNDATION), gross proceeds from sales of securities from the actively traded brokerage accounts are no longer defined as "gross receipts". Instead, trading gains (losses) are reported after cost basis considerations. The result is an almost complete elimination of related activity gross receipts ($894,485 to $1,000) and in Part VIII, an elimination of Line 7a Asset Sales due to mark-to-market losses of $(49,829) in The Endowment. Miscellaneous Revenue was amended to more properly include currency losses of $(1,987) on Form 990, Part VIII, 11e. After all reclassifications and corrections, net assets of the organization were reduced by an immaterial 0.3% to $313,196. In addition to the above changes, we are updating contact information and the mission statement as well as correcting immaterial errors in 990, Part V; Form 990, Part III, Line 2; Form 990, Part V, Line 2a; Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1b; Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g; Form 990, Part XI, Line 9; Schedule A, Part I; Schedule D, Part V, Line 1g; Schedule D, Part V, Line 4; Schedule F, Part I, Line 3; Schedule F, Part I, Line 2; Schedule L, Part II. All previous 990 forms are being amended (2020, 2021, and 2022). As required, we have mailed the 2020 amended 990 form; the forms for tax year's 2021 and 2022 have been submitted electronically.
Form 990, Part III, Line 2AMENDED: Empowering Self-sufficiency - The Endowment: This FOUNDATION Solution is a quasi-endowment established by the Founder; it is a self-sufficient fund(s) that exists as a learning platform for the disadvantaged to empower their financial self-sufficiency. The Endowment may take years (even decades) to properly establish itself. Eventually, excess returns will be used to fund program services.
Form 990, Part III, Line 3Saving Children: Due to inherent cognitive and ethical inadequacies of government officials, Tanzania was eliminated as a viable location for a children's home and organizational office. The home office space is currently inactive. We continue to pay local service professionals to maintain the leased property and keep it secure. We will explore additional ways we can efficiently utilize this asset to further our exempt purpose.
Form 990, Part V, Line 2aAMENDED (immaterial): The individual employed was a non-resident alien on foreign soil (Tanzania); therefore, we adjusted our employee count to 0 from 1 to reflect the fact that non-resident aliens are not reported on IRS W3 forms.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1bAMENDED (immaterial): The number of independent Board members was reduced from 2 to 1 due to the outstanding loan from the Founder.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bAMENDED (immaterial): The Founder and acting Director of the Board of Trustees prepared form 990 independently. The final version of form 990 was sent to all board members for unofficial review. No official review was or will be conducted.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cAMENDED (immaterial): Due to the small size of THE FOUNDATION, the Board of Trustees was able to read the mind of the Founder, the primary decision maker of the Organization, and determine in real-time whether any conflicts of interest were present. The Board was then able to evaluate potential conflicts and communicate to Key Employees that a violation of the Organization's policies will be met with harsh punitive actions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19Stakeholders were given copies of the relevant documents and/or these documents were made available upon request.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 2a - 2eAMENDED: The Endowment is a self-sufficient fund(s) that exists as a learning platform for the disadvantaged to empower their financial self-sufficiency. After exhaustive tax law research, it has been decided that part VIII, "Total Revenue" is to be calculated by subtracting the cost basis and sales expenses from the gross proceeds of the securities sales. Financial instruments in this account are actively traded and should not be classified as "investments", nor should the gross proceeds be classified as "gross receipts". For the current tax year, The Endowment had total mark-to-market losses of $(49,829). CITED SOURCE #1: It is well established in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that certain property and/or asset transactions classified as "gross" are to have the cost basis subtracted from the total transaction proceeds. In section 448, Methods of Accounting in General, it is stated, "With respect to sales of capital assets as defined in section 1221, or sales of property described in 1221 (2) (relating to property used in a trade or business), gross receipts shall be reduced by the taxpayer's adjusted basis in such property." [26 CFR 1.448-1T(f)(2)(iv)] CITED SOURCE #2: In addition, Section 1244 states, "gross receipts from the sales or exchanges of stock or securities shall be taken into account only to the extent of gains therefrom." [26 CFR 1.1244(c)-1(e)(1)(i)(a)]
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 11eAMENDED: Estimated realized currency losses of $1,987.
Form 990, Part IX, Line 11gAMENDED (immaterial): Neighborhood Security ($3,455), Tailor ($87).
Form 990, Part X, Line 13AMENDED: Proceeds from the sale of securities within The Endowment are no longer classified as 'Gross receipts from related activities' in Schedule A. See previous notes.
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9AMENDED: Realized mark-to-market trading gains were $22,663. The Endowment's unrealized trading losses were $(72,462). Endowment Dividends and Interest were $0. Miscellaneous adjustments were $969. $22,663 + $(72,462) + $969 = $(48,830).
