THE NUMBER OF DONORS, AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE, IS REFLECTED IN ONGOING FUNDRAISING APPEAL PROGRAMS. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WILL ALSO DEMONSTRATE THAT FOUNDATION HAS BEEN ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS THROUGH WRITTEN REQUESTS TO INDIVIDUALS, ONLINE, AND EMAIL FUNDRAISING SOLICITATIONS. THESE EFFORTS TO ATTRACT ONGOING SUPPORT ARE FURTHER REFLECTED BY THE WORK OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE FOUNDATION'S SELECTION COMMITTEE. PUBLIC SUPPORT ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO FURTHERED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE AND EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS. FOUNDATION'S FUNDRAISING AND THE SOURCES OF SUPPORT REPORTED IN THE SCHEDULE A TO FORM 990 REFLECTS THAT IT RECEIVES BROAD-BASED SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC, AS OPPOSED TO LIMITED SOURCES, SUCH AS A SINGLE FAMILY OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. THIS INCLUDES PUBLIC DONATIONS THROUGH A NETWORK OF EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED BY A FAMILY OF RELATED STORES. THE FOUNDATION HAS ALSO HISTORICALLY MET THE 33 1/3% SUPPORT TEST BUT IS PRESENTLY REQUIRED TO RELY ON THE 10% AND FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST BECAUSE IT HAD RECEIVED JUST A FEW EXTRAORDINARY DONATIONS DURING THE COVID CRISIS. THE FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO RETAIN BROAD-BASED SUPPORT AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE RECEIVING SIMILAR EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS AT THIS TIME. FOUNDATION HAS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND POLICIES ADOPTED BY THAT BODY WHICH DEMONSTRATES THAT IT HAS A GOVERNING BODY WHICH REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC THROUGH THEIR INTEREST IN SERVING THE PURPOSES OF THE ORGANIZATION, RATHER THAN THE PERSONAL OR PRIVATE INTERESTS OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONS OR DONORS. THE GOVERNING BODY IS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS CHOSEN TO SERVE DUE TO THEIR INTEREST, KNOWLEDGE, AND SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE IN SUPPORTING THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY-BASED PHILANTHROPY. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD HAS DEVELOPED POSITION DESCRIPTIONS SETTING FORTH THE EXPECTATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR BOARD PARTICIPATION WHICH IS REFLECTIVE OF A TYPICAL PUBLIC CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BOARD. THE BOARD HAS ALSO DEVELOPED AN OFFICER NOMINATION AND ELECTION PROCESS REFLECTIVE OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO REFLECTIVE OF FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS. ITS CHARITABLE PROGRAMS INCLUDE DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO A CHARITABLE CLASS OF RECIPIENTS COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM FINANCIAL AND OTHER HARDSHIPS AND WHO ARE IN SIGNIFICANT NEED OF ASSISTANCE. THIS IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT FOUNDATION IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." CONSISTENT WITH THE FOREGOING, FOUNDATION ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR BROAD-SCALE PARTICIPATION IN FUNDRAISING AND GIVING OPPORTUNITIES AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. IT IS LOOKING TO INCREASE THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE AMOUNTS RAISED FROM SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUALS OVER TIME, INCREASING ITS RATIO OF PUBLIC SUPPORT, ACCORDINGLY. IT ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT WHICH CAN BE TURNED AROUND AND PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO THOSE WHO ARE MOST IN NEED. AGAIN, THIS ALSO SERVES AS EVIDENCE THAT THE FOUNDATION IS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." THE FOREGOING ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE OF ALL THAT THE FOUNDATION DOES IN TERMS OF FUNDRAISING AND OPERATING AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, BUT PROVIDE MOST OF THE SUPPORT FOR TREATMENT AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION UNDER THE 10% AND FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS, THE FOUNDATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE DEEMED A PUBLIC CHARITY.

ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE SELECTION COMMITTEE. ONCE ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS HAVE REQUESTED ASSISTANCE THE SELECTION COMMITTEE WILL DETERMINE IF THE RECIPENT HAS SUFFERED HARDSHIP RESULTING FROM A SPECIFIED TRIGGERING EVENT AND MEETS A NEEDS TEST. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ALSO HAS THE POWER TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO AN ELIGIBLE RECIPIENT WITHOUT A FORMAL REQUEST IF DEEMED NECESSARY. ALL ASSISTANCE IS RECORDED IN THE SELECTION COMMITTEE'S FILES TO MONITOR AS BEING IN FURTHERANCE OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES. false false false false false false false false false Stash Ptak President/Secretary 0 1933570 0 44802 0 0 0 6600 0 52146 0 2037118 0 0 Vincent Ciccolini Treasurer 0 1430913 0 122463 0 0 0 0 0 36190 0 1589566 0 0 Matt Shady Vice President 0 457602 0 14501 0 0 0 6812 0 27564 0 506479 0 0 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Review of Compensation THE PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS COMPENSATED BY THE RELATED ORGANIZATION, SIGNET U.S. HOLDINGS AS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CORPORATION.
