The organization has opted to reclassify its public charity status from Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) to IRC Section 509(a)(2) due to the evolving nature of revenue sources. A substantial portion of support now comes from gross receipts derived from activities related to our exempt purpose, rather than from public contributions. For this reason, 509 (a)(2) more accurately reflects the operational model and revenue structure, which is increasingly based on earned revenue from mission-related services. This change provides clearer alignment between our activities and our tax-exempt classification ensuring long-term compliance and transparency in reporting.
