JGCFs mission is to support children battling cancer by funding programs that improve patients quality of life, treatment programs that increase survivorship, and pediatric medical research dedicated to finding cures. JGCF received a determination letter by the IRS classifying the organization as a public charity described in section 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code as of January 1, 2011. On the basis of support received during taxable years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, in the aggregate, JGCF received at least 33 1/3 percent of its support from contributions made directly or indirectly by the general public. In 2020, JGCF fell below the 33 1/3 percent support test dropping to 32.04%, but JGCF qualified as a publicly supported organization based on 2019. For taxable years 2021, 2022 and 2023, JGCF has attracted public support to qualify under the facts and circumstances test of Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) based on 1) its support from public sources (now at 22.19%, it is well above the 10% threshold for the facts and circumstances test), 2) its fundraising program, 3) the type of broad and diverse support JGCF regularly solicits and receives from the general public, 4) future fundraising plans, and 5) consideration of other relevant factors described in Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.170A-9(f)(3). Additionally, JGCF has a governing body which represents the interests of the public and not private interests, and it has a variety of charitable and research programs that directly serve to benefit the general public.Attraction of Public Support JGCF is organized and operated to attract new and additional public support on a continuous basis. JGCF accepts and receives donations through various means including email, social media, website, and partnerships with like-minded organizations. The website includes information on providing donations through various means, including both a one-time contribution as well as a recurring monthly giving program known as THE FUEL. These donations are primarily solicited through a series of calendared seasonal and opportunistic fundraising campaigns created and conducted by the organization. JGCF also solicits contributions as part of its annual car program (as further described below). JGCF is registered, on a nationwide basis, to solicit contributions from the public. The process for annual renewal involves significant time and resources, thus showing JGCFs commitment to continually growing and broadening its solicitation program. JGCFs Executive Director directs the program of solicitation and reports on her activities regularly with the JGCF board. JGCF maintains a donor management system in which 62,098 donors are tracked. Based on the foregoing, JGCF reasonably anticipates it will be able to attract more funding from the general public in the future.Car Program In addition to the fundraising described above, JGCF receives other revenue from its annual car program. This program also receives contributions from a nationwide group of individuals of the general public, however this type of support is not included in the numerator of the public support calculation on Form 990, Schedule A. The car program also serves as a tool to identify new supporters for JGCFs overall mission, annually growing the database by 4%, and offsetting natural attrition. Contributors to the car program are also given the option to make an additional donation to JGCF and/or also donate to cover credit card transaction fees incurred by JGCF and most elect to do so. As a result of 2023 programming efforts to increase awareness of JGCF and its mission, more than 43,207 new individuals provided an email address to receive additional information about the organization growing the number of constituents in the database for the year by 58%. By engaging with these new constituents through strategic messaging about the importance of funding childhood cancer research, the goal is to convert a percentage of these warm leads into first-time donors within the next two years. Most recently: -93% of the car programs participants chose to cover the transaction costs with a separate donation -$5,980 of additional charitable contributions were made to JGCF by the car programs participants during the car program -After the program was completed, these participants also donated $5,724 in additional charitable contributions to other JGCF programs outside of the car program -In 2023, out of the 62,098 active donors in its donor database, 11,956 contributed in some way to JGCFs mission -104 new members were added to JGCFs recurring giving program through the car program, growing the number of recurring givers by 28%JGCF is supported by the general public from all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, multiple U.S. territories and military bases across the globe, and most Canadian provinces. These contributions support JGCFs mission of funding childhood cancer. Recently, JGCF has funded research projects with researchers, childrens hospitals, and educational institutions in Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and North Carolina intending to support the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of children diagnosed with cancer across the country.Representative Governing Body JGCFs governing body is comprised of persons representing a broad cross-section of the interests of the public and of those served by JGCFs programs. The board includes individuals who are both independent and have special knowledge and expertise to help support JGCFs childhood cancer research funding mission.Jeff Gordon is an American former professional stock car racing driver, currently the Vice-Chairman for Hendrick Motorsports.
