Facts And Circumstances TestSCHEDULE A, PART II, LINES 17A AND 17B: PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES RAISED PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE 2022 CALENDAR YEAR TOTALING 14.09% OF OUR TOTAL GROSS REVENUE, WELL ABOVE THE 10% REQUIRED TO ALLOW PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES TO QUALIFY UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES" TEST. THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THAT PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES CONTINUES TO QUALIFY AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.BACKGROUND: ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVE SIGNATURE PROGRAM HAS BEEN THE STAMP STAMPEDE, A GRASSROOTS PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN TO INFORM CITIZENS ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY IN CAMPAIGNS AND ELECTIONS AND THE IMPACT OF VOTER SUPPRESSION IN LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ORGANIZED TO ATTRACT PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. IN 2022 WE RECRUITED OVER 6,227 NEW MEMBERS WHICH WE DEFINE AS PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE A STAMP ON OUR WEBSITE AND FROM EMAIL MARKETING PROMOTIONS. IN 2022, OUR GROSS STAMP SALES WERE OVER $64,000. COMBINED WITH $79,862 IN DONATIONS FROM 1,242 INDIVIDUALS OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT SHOULD SURPASS THE NECESSARY THRESHOLD, HOWEVER, BECAUSE WE SELL THE STAMPS CLOSE TO OUR COST, THE NET VALUE IS INSIGNIFICANT. PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES MAINTAINS A WEBSITE FOR THE STAMP STAMPEDE THAT RECEIVES BETWEEN 5,000 AND 10,000 UNIQUE VISITORS PER MONTH, WE MAINTAIN AN EMAIL LIST WITH OVER 40,000 SUBSCRIBERS, A TWITTER ACCOUNT WITH 32,300 FOLLOWERS, AND A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WITH 12,640 FANS. THROUGH BOTH DONATIONS AND THE SALES OF ONLINE MERCHANDISE, PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES HAS ALWAYS CONSISTENTLY SOUGHT, AND CONTINUES TO SEEK, ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT.IN ADDITION TO OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM, PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES CONTINUED OUR WORK IN 2022 WITH A PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONS FOR A FREE PRESS AND AN INITIATIVE TO BUILD TRUST IN PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH ACCOUNTABILITY AND CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTIONS. THESE TWO NEW PROGRAMS WERE MADE POSSIBLE BY AN INCREASE GRANT FROM A SINGLE DONOR, BUT THEY HAVE HELPED ATTRACT OVER 2,500 NEW GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS TO HELP SUSTAIN THE PROGRAMS. PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. 2022 IS THE NINTH YEAR OF PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES EXISTENCE. WHILE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR FUNDING HAS ALWAYS COME FROM A FEW INDIVIDUALS, OUR FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM HAS COME FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES, INCLUDING MEMBERS WHO PAY A ONE-TIME MEMBER FEE (THE COST OF A STAMP) TO JOIN THE ORGANIZATION, THAT FEE COMES WITH A STAMP AND THE MEMBERS ARE CALLED STAMPERS. SOURCES OF SUPPORT. PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES SUPPORT IS DRAWN FROM SMALL-DOLLAR INDIVIDUAL DONORS, LARGE-DOLLAR INDIVIDUAL DONORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BETWEEN NEW MEMBERS AND GRASSROOTS DONORS, THAT INCLUDED SUPPORT FROM 7,469 PEOPLE IN 2022 REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY. PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES DEALS WITH ISSUES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCLUDES A REGIONALLY DIVERSE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS FROM VERMONT, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, AND CALIFORNIA. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS. ALL OF PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES ACTIVITIES ARE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND AVAILABLE TO A WIDE AUDIENCE. THESE FACTORS, COMBINED WITH PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES CONTINUED ABILITY TO GENERATE PUBLIC SUPPORT EXCEEDING THE 10% MINIMUM PERCENTAGE, DEMONSTRATES THAT PEOPLE POWER INITIATIVES CONTINUES TO QUALIFY AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt
