| Facts And Circumstances Test | Current Year Facts and Circumstances: Teen Talking Circles is registered as a WA public charity to allow its solicitation of funds from public donors. While donations are sought at each facilitated teen talking circle event, there is not much in the way that the teenage girls can monetarily contribute. Therefore, there is a concentrated effort on donations from other public charities. Most years, a small fundraiser is run in winter to aid in contributions. In the 2021 tax year and the 4 prior years, there was a total of 36 individual, 5 corporate, and 9 foundation contributors, as well as more unnamed individuals that are unnamed and leave small cash donations at the circle collection basket. The governing body consists of a local CFO, a community activist, a special education paraprofessional, individuals with mentoring and coaching backgrounds, all focused on helping the organization obtain its mission. The organization regularly provides the service of facilitating public talking groups in secure environments for teenagers. Since this has proven to be an effective forum for these teens to feel safe and talk, the organization has begun training others to be able to facilitate these meetups, including companies from out of state. The organization has also published multiple articles and books on such facilitation and its power to allow connection.
