| Facts And Circumstances Test | PUBLIC AGENDA IS, BY ITS NATURE, A TYPE OF ORGANIZATION THAT TYPICALLY RECEIVES ITS SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC. AS IS EVIDENCED BY THE CURRENT CALCULATION, PUBLIC AGENDA RECEIVES PUBLIC SUPPORT WELL IN EXCESS OF THE 10 PERCENT REQUIREMENT. THE ORGANIZATION ATTRACTS NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND HAS RECEIVED BROAD SUPPORT FROM AN ARRAY OF SOURCES. PUBLIC AGENDA'S MISSION IS TO RAISE FUNDS TO STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY AND EXPAND OPPORTUNITY IN AMERICA BY FOSTERING THOUGHTFUL PUBLIC OPINION, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND RESPONSIVE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. PUBLIC AGENDA IS ORGANIZED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. PUBLIC AGENDA HAS A WELL-DIVERSIFIED BASE OF DONORS AND IS CONTINUING TO TAKE STEPS TO FURTHER DIVERSIFY ITS DONOR BASE. PUBLIC AGENDA IS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH ALL ITS ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO HELP DIVERSE LEADERS AND CITIZENS NAVIGATE COMPLEX, DIVISIVE ISSUES AND WORK TOGETHER ON SOLUTIONS. PUBLIC AGENDA'S BOARD COMPRISES EXPERTS IN BOTH THE FIELD AND THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY.PUBLIC AGENDA HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1975 AND WAS CREATED TO HELP THE DEVELOPING CRISIS OF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT AND THE DEEP CONCERNS OF ORDINARY CITIZENS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. IN THE 1980'S, THE ORGANIZATION BROUGHT SOLID AND TIMELY RESEARCH TO THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION SIGNALING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC'S OPENNESS TO A DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOVIET UNION, AS WELL AS HELP EDUCATORS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF EMPLOYERS. FROM THE 1990'S TO 2000'S, THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND IMPROVING STUDENT SUCCESS. AS OUTREACH AND PUBLICITY INCREASES, IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE DONOR BASE WILL GROW SUBSTANTIALLY. PUBLIC AGENDA HAS LAUNCHED TWO MAJOR INITIATIVES THAT ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE PUBLICITY AND BROADEN THE DONOR BASE. REINVENTING OPPORTUNITY IS A TEN-YEAR COMMITMENT TO HELP COMMUNITIES AND ADDRESS STAGNATING OPPORTUNITY. THE YANKELOVICH CENTER WILL DEVELOP, DISSEMINATE AND APPLY OUR CO-FOUNDER'S SEMINAL IDEAS ABOUT DEMOCRACY, IDEAS THAT HAVE PROFOUNDLY INFLUENCED OUR OWN WORK. IN 2017, OUR FOUNDER DANIEL YANKELOVICH PASSED AWAY AND PUBLIC AGENDA INHERITED HIS IRA AND RECEIVED DISTRIBUTIONS FROM HIS GIVING ACCOUNT. THIS GIFT WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN PRIOR YEAR GIFTS AND WAS NOT EXPECTED. PUBLIC AGENDA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS COMPRISED OF 12 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE COMMUNITY WITH WIDELY VARYING BACKGROUNDS WHO ARE KEENLY INTERESTED IN STRENGTHENING DEMOCRACY AND EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES IN AMERICA, AND SUPPORTING THE ORGANIZATION MISSION AND GOALS. THE SECTORS REPRESENTED BY THE BOARD INCLUDE EDUCATION, HUMAN RESOURCES, PHILANTHROPY, AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. MANY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE ALSO HIGHLY INVOLVED WITH OTHER HIGHLY REGARDED NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS. PUBLIC AGENDA CONTINUES TO WORK ON EXPANDING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND DONOR SUPPORT. THE ORGANIZATION'S TWO NEW INITIATIVES WILL INCREASE OUTREACH AND ATTRACT THE INTEREST OF NEW INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS. PUBLIC AGENDA ANTICIPATES THE GROWTH OF PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE COMING YEARS. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |
