THE PREMIER FOUNDATION-PREMIER ARTS COLLECTIVE WAS NOT IMMUNE TO THOSE CHALLENGES, RESULTING IN FALLING SHORT OF THE 33.33% PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST.SINCE 2020, OUR ORGANIZATION WAS FORCED TO CANCEL NO LESS THAN NINE MAJOR PUBLIC FUNDRAISERS AND EVENTS THAT HELPED DRIVE OUR PAST PUBLIC FUNDING IN ADDITION TO SEEING A GIVING DECLINE WITH MANY DONORS. FORTUNATELY, ONE OF OUR DONORS FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT A NUMBER OF CHARITIES DURING AND POST-PANDEMIC TO KEEP OUR AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AFLOAT, THUS, INCREASING DONATIONS TO PREMIER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AMOUNT OF THE GIFTS SKEWED THE PUBLIC SUPPORT RATIO. OUR GOAL IS TO REMAIN A PUBLIC CHARITY, AS SUCH, WE ARE WORKING HARD TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO INCREASE THE SOURCES OF OUR DONATIONS AND GIFTS.WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING NEW DONOR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE INCREASE OF OUR CHARITABLE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS RESUMING OUR EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS IN 2023. ALTHOUGH SOME EVENTS HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY CANCELLED, OUR LARGEST ANNUAL FUNDRAISER WILL RESUME IN 2024 AND WE BELIEVE IT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST. WE HAVE ALSO CREATED A MONTHLY GIVING PROGRAM THAT IS GAINING MOMENTUM WITH NEW DONORS. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEEPENING OUR CHARITABLE CORPORATE PARTNER PROGRAMS.
