We forward a chart that explicitly shows Smart Kids' transition from a net deficit position to one where there is a surplus of revenue available for charitable purposes or for reserve. Over the past year, this has ensured that more time and energy could be spent on focusing on the financing of companies and foundations. We purchased expensive software to facilitate this process. As previously mentioned, since 2013 we have developed a partnership with The Council ON Drug Abuse (CODA) and have provided thousands of dollars to them.

Smart Kids' continued funding of this organization will be reviewed at the next general meeting to be scheduled once we have a final report from your recent audit. For example, we have had discussions with Pine River Institute in the past, and it is our intention to resume these discussions with the goal of developing an alliance with this organization as well as others. We feel that within a year or so we will be in a position to execute the goals set out in our Three Year Strategic Plan.

For years we were hampered by time and cost-consuming agreements that, frankly, limited the exercise of our mandate. Regarding aligning Smart Kids with other organizations with similar objectives, your field auditor, Mr. Ted Dubien, suggested during our last conversation that we mention this.

We have reviewed all the statements of the Organization and they do not diminish our concern that the Organization has not allocated its funds to charitable purposes and activities. The presentations did not demonstrate that the organization would stop devoting most of its resources to fundraising and other non-charitable activities, or that it would even make efforts to address the non-compliance noted by our audit. Although the organization has devoted very little of its resources to non-fundraising activities, its response has also not allayed our concerns that its other activities have failed to advance education in a charitable sense.

While we agree that making gifts to qualified beneficiaries is charitable, our audit identified that this represents a relatively minor focus of the Organization. Consequently, it is our position that the Organization has not met the requirements of subsections 149.1 (1) of the Act to which it devotes substantially all of its resources.
