IN 2019, THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 79.72%. HOWEVER, BEGINNING IN 2020, PUBLIC SUPPORT BEGAN TO DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY, FALLING TO 25.41% BY 2024.

THIS SHOWS THE DEDICATION, PERSEVERANCE AND LOVE THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS MEMBERS AND LEADERSHIP HAVE FOR THE YOUTH THEY SERVE. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DECLINE THE REDUCTION IN PUBLIC SUPPORT WAS DUE TO A CONFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CHALLENGES: COVID-19 IMPACT: THE PANDEMIC SEVERELY RESTRICTED IN-PERSON INTERACTIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WHICH ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO LPALS GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING MODEL.

REINVIGORATED COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING: LPAL HAS BEGUN INCORPORATING SIMPLE BUT CONSISTENT FUNDRAISING EFFORTS AT EVENTS, SUCH AS PASS-THE-HAT COLLECTIONS AND DONOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT SIGNAGE, TO REBUILD GRASSROOTS SUPPORT. EXPANSION OF DONOR BASE AND OUTREACH: LAUNCHING A TARGETED CAMPAIGN TO RE-ENGAGE PAST SUPPORTERS AND SOLICIT SMALL, RECURRING DONATIONS FROM A BROADER AUDIENCE.

FUNDRAISING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT: IMPLEMENTING DONOR MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND DEVELOPING INTERNAL PROTOCOLS FOR DONOR FOLLOW-UP AND STEWARDSHIP.
