We do this by raising their profile and awareness to help them forge even stronger community partnerships and ultimately raising revenue. Our primary activities include providing brand ambassadors at no cost to the nonprofits. We provide access to Ohio State football and basketball players as brand ambassadors, setting up events that allow the nonprofits to tell their story and reach more people. Additionally, we provide our brand ambassadors to connect with the charities' constituents, helping them increase their profile and providing value to the charities at no cost. Additionally, we seek to forge long-term partnerships with the charities and brand ambassadors. In 2024, we partnered with an LLC to handle any business deals that were not within our exempt purpose to continue to ensure all activites through THE Foundation are according to our exempt purpose. 0 0 5485218 6712410 We provided brand ambassadors to raise awareness, increase the profile, and help raise resources for the following community nonprofit partners: LifeTown, Buckeye Cruise for Cancer, A Kid Again, After-School All-Stars, Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, USO, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Columbus Urban League. We had over one hundred student-athlete brand ambassadors serving multiple charity partners. Our premiere event was our Summer Gala in August. We partnered with Buckeye Cruise for Cancer to help raise awareness for the James Cancer Hospital. The brand ambassadors spent quality time, signing autographs, throwing the football, and having conversations about leadership. We also had many appearances at Lifetown where our brand ambassadors worked with the kids who would go there to learn life skills. Many of these kids come from under-resourced backgrounds and some are mentally handicapped. Our brand ambassadors volunteered in each simulated store such as a bank, art store, movie theatre, pet shop, doctor's office, and salon. They taught the kids how to budget money, talk to a doctor, and use art in therapeutic ways. The kids love having the brand ambassadors around and they visit multiple times a year. Our Co-founder Cardale Jones had a charity softball game raising money for Ohio State's The James Cancer Center. Our brand ambassadors attended the game, signed autographs, and interacted with cancer patients. It was a meaningful experience for everyone who attended. We have also had the Boys and Grisl Club and USO visit our brand ambassadors during practice. We had a football free kids football camp as well hosted by THE Foundation and our brand ambassadors played football with kids who are underprivileged. Many of our brand ambassadors visit the Nationwide Children's hospital on a frequent basis and they worked with the kids during The Memorial Golf Tournament at a golf clinic with Jack Nicklaus. We also hosted a Summer Big Brothers Big Sisters basketball shootout with our brand ambassadors. During Christmas, we had a gift-wrapping and delivery project by our brand ambassadors to kids who are terminally ill through the A Kid Again charity partner. This was a great way for our brand ambassadors to get out in the community and put a smile on many kids' faces. Our programs have already helped so many kids who, despite their struggles, look up to our brand ambassadors and we give them the opportunity to be together. Our brand ambassadors also love this experience as well. In addition to serving the nonprofit partners, we teach our brand ambassadors business and life skills including branding, marketing, accounting, contracts, taxes, and the importance of giving back to their community. Our ultimate mission is to forge life-long relationships between our brand ambassadors and our charity partners creating a lifetime of impact. 0 0 0 5485218 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 43 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Impact Quotient 3123710844 1475 W Oak St Unit 614 Zionsville IN 46077 Cardale Jones Vice Chairman 30 0 X X X X 146388 0 0 Brian Schottenstein Chairman 30 0 X X X 0 0 0 Michael Gogis Treasurer and Secretary 8 0 X X X 0 0 0 146388 0 0 1 0 0 0 Caleb Downs CDowns 02 LLC 515 W 5th Avenue 546 Columbus OH 43201 Provided brand ambassador services to support local nonprofit organizations. 1083333 Bruce Thornton BTS 2 LLC 535 Irving Schottenstein Dr Columbus OH 43201 Provided brand ambassador services to support local nonprofit organizations. 532300 David Igbinosum 535 Irving Schottenstein Dr Columbus OH 43210 Provided brand ambassador services to support local nonprofit organizations. 300000 Tyleik Williams Tixdo LLC 535 Irving Schottenstein Drive Columbus OH 43210 Provided brand ambassador services to support local nonprofit organizations. 250000 Julian Sayin Number Nine LLC 535 Irving Schottenstein Drive Columbus OH 43210 Provided brand ambassador services to support local nonprofit organizations. 242000 11 0 0 0 130755 0 6581655 0 6712410 0 29091 29091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6741501 29091 0 0 146388 131749 14639 0 0 22946 20651 2295 1500 1500 325974 325974 360 360 2788 2788 Bank fees 6858 0 6858 0 Brand Ambassadors 5848865 5330030 0 518835 6355679 5485218 25652 844809 737530 334389 3250000 4038963 3987530 4373352 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 3987530 4373352 3987530 4373352 3987530 4373352 385822 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 2402676 3718087 6712410 12833173 0 0 2402676 3718087 6712410 12833173 1078459 66051 130755 1275265 0 0 1078459 66051 130755 1275265 11557908 29091 29091 0 0 0 0 29091 29091 0 0 2402676 3718087 6741501 12862264 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Board members review the 990 before filing and compare the numbers to amounts presented in board and committee meetings, as well as bank balances, donor receipts, and a general understanding of the organization and its activities as a whole.
