ADDITIONALLY, FOR THE CURRENT AND COMING FISCAL YEARS, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GARNERING ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF FUNDING AND SECURING FROM NEW DONORS SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS AND MULTI-YEAR COMMITMENTS. THE FUNDING AND COMMITMENTS FROM THESE NEW DONORS HAVE BROUGHT THE ORGANIZATION'S PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT COMFORTABLY BEYOND THE REQUIRED THRESHOLD OF 33 1/3 PERCENT FOR FY2024 AND BEYOND.SOURCES OF SUPPORT - TPCREF HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR OVER 10 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED FUNDING FROM A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES, INDIVIDUALS, AND FOUNDATIONS. DUE TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, FUNDING HAS DECREASED RECENTLY, CAUSING THE ORGANIZATION TO RELY ON CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS(WHO ARE NOT BOARD MEMBERS) AND RESULTING IN A LOWER PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE. THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS HAD NO MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. TPCREF HAS APPLIED FOR FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES AND IS ACTIVELY SOLICITING FUNDING FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES. THESE EFFORTS HAVE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS FROM NEW DONORS THAT HAVE BROUGHT THE ORGANIZATION'S PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT WELL PAST THE REQUIRED THRESHOLD FOR FY2024 AND BEYOND. THE ORGANIZATION IS DRIVEN BY ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FROM A BROAD AND DIVERSE VOLUNTEER BASE REPRESENTING EVERY COUNTY AND SCHOOL DISTRICT IN OUR STATE. THIS ALLIANCE OF MOMS, DADS, GRANDPARENTS, TEACHERS, PASTORS, AND CITIZENS HAS DEVOTED NUMEROUS HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BECAUSE MANY OF OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE MONETARY SUPPORT, THEIR FISCAL IMPACT ON TPCREF IS SMALL. HOWEVER, OUR VOLUNTEERS' MANY HOURS SPENT CHAMPIONING STRONG PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE REAPED INVALUABLE BENEFITS FOR MISSISSIPPI CHILDREN. THEY USE THEIR EXPERTISE TO HOST TOWN HALL MEETINGS, ENGAGE WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS, PROVIDE CIVIC EDUCATION, AND INFORM COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT IMPORTANT ISSUES AFFECTING THEIR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION.REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSISTS OF 7 INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND CIVIC COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE. SEVERAL MEMBERS HAVE CAREERS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION SPANNING DECADES. THERE ALSO ARE BOARD MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANT KNOWLEDGE REGARDING FINANCIAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FROM THEIR PRIVATE AND PUBLIC OFFICIAL EXPERIENCE. THE PERSONAL AND BUSINESS EXPERIENCES OF TPCREF BOARD MEMBERS HAVE INSPIRED THEIR DEEP DEVOTION TO THE ORGANIZATION'S SUCCESS. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES FACTOR TPCREF'S PROGRAMS CENTER ON COACHING PARENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS TO ADVOCATE EFFECTIVELY FOR THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. TO AID PARENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS IN THESE EFFORTS, TPCREF PROVIDES OBJECTIVE RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION POLICIES AND LEGISLATION TO STATE LEADERS, POLICYMAKERS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TPCREF WORKS CLOSELY WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOLS TO MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVOCACY AND TO EMPOWER PARENTS WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO BE EFFECTIVE CHAMPIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND SCHOOLS.
