| Explanation | SINCE 2000, THE CHAMPIONS FUND HAS PROMOTED CHARITABLE GIVING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AND OTHERS IN THE SPORTS COMMUNITY. THIS MODEL HAS CONSISTENTLY DRIVEN STRONG PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM HOMETOWNS, PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS, AND COLLEGES, KEEPING US ABOVE THE 33?% THRESHOLD FOR OVER 20 YEARS.IN RECENT YEARS, PLAYER TRANSITIONS AND NEW PERSONAL FOUNDATIONS REDUCED OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS ALONGSIDE ATHLETES, WHICH NEGATIVELY IMPACTED PUBLIC SUPPORT. WEVE BEGUN REBUILDING AND HAVE SLIGHTLY IMPROVED OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT %. WE ANTICIPATE RETURNING TO COMPLIANCE AS EARLY AS 2026.ADDITIONALLY, IN 2024, TCF LOST TWO OF ITS THREE BOARD MEMBERS DUE TO DEATH AND ILLNESS. A NEW BOARD WAS ELECTED IN 2025 AND IS NOW FOCUSED ON RESTORING THE ORGANIZATION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. | ExplanationTxt |
