Beginning in 2020, as with all nonprofit organizations, our donors faced extreme financial hardship. This impacted revenue into 2021, as donors struggled to stay afloat, financially. The year 2022 and into 2023 was a time of recovery, and the opportunity to donate a higher percentage of adjusted gross income was appealing to some donors, especially seeing they had a five-year window to claim the tax credit. Visionaries Inc. continues to maintain a bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public and our community. This "community" includes individuals and groups who have an interest in the program services of Visionaries Incorporated. Visionaries Inc. was incorporated in 1972. The gifts and contributions of our donor base have been necessary to the work of this organization in the past and will so remain for the duration of our continued program services.
