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 a cure. JGCF supports research projects all across the country. JGCF received a determination letter by the IRS classifying JGCF 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 receives 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 year 2021, 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 (at 22.49%, 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 benefit to serve the general public. Attraction of Public SupportJGCF 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, and website. 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. JGCF also solicits contributions as part of its car giveaway program (as further described below). JGCF is registered, on a nationwide basis, to solicit for 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 over 54,000 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. Additionally, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, JGCF was evaluating strategic partnerships and event-based programs to implement. Due to the pandemic, these efforts were put on hold and impacted its ability to grow its fundraising program over the past two years. JGCF is hopeful that such COVID-19 impacts are short-lived and that any growth opportunities it now identifies will enhance its amount of public support over time. Car Giveaway ProgramsIn addition to the fundraising program described above, JGCF receives other revenue from its annual car giveaway programs which have widely exceeded expectations recently. These programs also receive 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 growth in the 2021 car giveaway programs unexpectedly increased 64% over 2020. Contributors to the car giveaway programs are also given the option to donate to JGCF separately and/or also donate to cover credit card transaction fees incurred by JGCF. Most recently:-91% of the car programs participants chose to cover the transaction costs with a separate donation-$64,661 of separate charitable contributions were made to JGCF by the car programs participants -After the program was completed, these participants also donated $118,822 in additional charitable contributions to other JGCF programs outside of the car giveaway programs-In 2021, out of the 54,724 active donors in its donor database, 28,353 contributed in some way to JGCFs mission Nationwide Programs Directly Benefitting the General Public JGCF is supported by the general public from 49 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. These contributions from around the nation support JGCFs mission of funding cancer research throughout the United States. Recently, JGCF has funded research projects with researchers, childrens hospitals, and educational institutions in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina intending to support the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of children diagnosed with cancer across the country. It also has a partnership with the Childrens National Health System in Washington D.C. and the Childrens Oncology Group, the worlds largest organization of childhood cancer research experts. Representative Governing BodyJGCFs 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.
