MOMS AGAINST POVERTY, A PUBLIC CHARITY, IS FULLY COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SHOP AT MAP WITH THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT NEEDED TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF ITS OPERATIONS AND MISSION. IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT ULTIMATELY, THE NET PROCEEDS GENERATED FROM SHOP AT MAP'S PROGRAMS WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT MOMS AGAINST POVERTY AND ITS INITIATIVES AIMED AT ALLEVIATING CHILD POVERTY. THIS RELATIONSHIP REPRESENTS A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR TWO PUBLIC SUPPORT CHARITIES. MOREOVER, AS IN PREVIOUS INSTANCES WHERE SHOP AT MAP HAS RECEIVED DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, UPON BECOMING OPERATIONAL ONCE MORE, IT PLANS TO ENGAGE WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY TO SEEK CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, ENABLING IT TO EFFECTIVELY RUN ITS PROGRAMS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL PURPOSES OF SHOP AT MAP INCLUDE (1)SUPPORT FOR THE CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES OF MAP, INCLUDING BY PROVIDING TRAINING, EDUCATION, TOOLS, AND MATERIALS TO PERSONS LIVING IN POVERTY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, TO BE USED BY THOSE PERSONS TO CREATE TEXTILES, JEWELRY, AND OTHER WEARABLE ART, ITEMS OF HOME DCOR, AND OTHER HAND-MADE ITEMS OF DECORATIVE ART; AND (2) TO RETURN ANY PROFITS REALIZED ON THE SALE OF SUCH ITEMS OF ARTWORK PRODUCED BY PERSONS LIVING IN POVERTY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TO MAP'S PROGRAMS FIGHTING POVERTY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IN THIS ROLE, SHOP AT MAP HELPS SUPPORT MAP'S LONG-RUN SUSTAINABILITY, ALL THE WHILE EMPOWERING MARGINALIZED AND IMPOVERISHED WOMEN AND YOUTH AROUND THE WORLD TO DEVELOP HANDICRAFT SKILLS AND EARN THE FAIR MARKET VALUE FROM SUCH HANDICRAFT GOODS. SHOP AT MAP WAS FOUNDED BY CERTAIN OF MAP'S LEADERSHIP IN RESPONSE TO THE EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE GATHERED THROUGH MAP'S OWN WORK. SPECIFICALLY, AS NOTED ABOVE, MAP DEVELOPS AND OFFERS PROGRAMS TO EMPOWER IMPOVERISHED CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES, IRAN, SENEGAL, AND AROUND THE GLOBE. DURING THE COURSE OF ITS WORK, MAP REALIZED THAT-IN ORDER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY-THERE IS A NEED TO PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH AND WOMEN HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDS IN IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES. BECAUSE MANY OF THE PERSONS SUPPORTED BY MAP COME FROM REMOTE COMMUNITIES LACKING BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE, SUCH AS ACCESS TO WATER, FOOD, HEALTH CARE, SCHOOLING, AND VOCATIONAL FACILITIES, AND ACCESS TO A MARKET REQUIRED FOR ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY, CERTAIN OF MAP'S LEADERSHIP DETERMINED THAT AN ENTITY SHOULD BE FOUNDED TO ASSIST IN CREATING A MARKETPLACE THAT COULD SUPPORT SUCH MARGINALIZED AND IMPOVERISHED PERSONS. THIS CONSIDERATION LED TO THE FOUNDING OF SHOP AT MAP. SHOP AT MAP IS A SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS ONLINE RETAIL STORE WHOSE MISSION INVOLVES PROVIDING A MARKETPLACE-AND BY EXTENSION, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY-FOR MARGINALIZED AND IMPOVERISHED ARTISANS IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE GLOBE. SHOP AT MAP SERVES AS A ONE-STOP ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE ONLINE SHOP FOR UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS FROM JEWELRY TO CERAMICS, ACCESSORIES, HOME DCOR, ETC. SUCH PRODUCTS ARE HAND-CRAFTED, HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS WITH A LOW ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT THAT ARE PRODUCED BY MARGINALIZED ARTISANS. SHOP AT MAP EMPOWERS INDEPENDENT ARTISANS BY PLUGGING THEM INTO THE ONLINE MARKET AND CONNECTING THEM TO MINDFUL, SOCIALLY-CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES AS WELL AS THE UNITED STATES. CURRENTLY, SHOP AT MAP HAS AN APPLICATION UNDER REVIEW WITH THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL OF THE U.S. TREASURY. IT IS THIS ORGANIZATION'S ANTICIPATION THAT WITH THE ACQUISITION OF A LICENSE, THE ENTITY CAN ENGAGE IN BRINGING ITEMS FROM IRAN TO THE U.S. FOR SALE. AS A RESULT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES IN 2022 (CHANGE OF ITS LEADERSHIP), THE ORGANIZATION HAD TO BECOME DORMANT IN MARCH OF 2022. WE BELIEVE THAT, CONTINGENT ON RECEIVING THE LICENSE FROM OFAC, SHOP AT MAP HAS THE CAPABILITY TO ENGAGE IN GENERATING REVENUE FROM THE PUBLIC AS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION FOR MAP.
