We have national outreach, international recognition and outreach through a TedX talk, radio recordings, a website and social media that enables us to raise awareness, raise money, increase our donor pool and applicant pool. We have a dedicated and committed Volunteer committee and well established and accomplished Board. We have a well established platform (Survey Money) for applicants to apply through and a rigorous review committee where our Scholarship Review Committee, made up of educators specializing in students with learning disabilities, physicians, and business leaders, will begin the exhausting process of reviewing every application in detail, and also make the very difficult decisions in selecting awardees from generally roughly 200 well qualified students. We have now upwards of 77 students who would like to volunteer and give back to other awardees through our organization - hence an additional group of young adults and minds who are appreciative and see the value to supporting and raising awareness. We are partnering with the The Curry School of Education at University of Virginia to better understand the gaps in teacher Special ED training Our awardees and their families are one our our strongest assets to help us accomplish our goals - they inspire us

We will know we are making progress by: Increasing the number of donors each year Increasing the collaborative relationships with Universities, high schools and Post Secondary institutions Continuing to have the same number and or increasing the number of applicants for our yearly Scholarship Continuing to work closely with our students and to support our awardees through post secondary graduation Continuing to be invited to give lectures, video recordings and events. Barbara Wirostko gets invited to and speaks at on behalf of our awardees, students and the Foundation 2-3 times a year Increasing the number of grants what we get awarded increase the number of organizations we partner and collaborate with

Here are a few of our accomplishments since inception. We are now a stand alone 501c3 after being under the umbrella of the Park City Community Foundation. We incorporated as Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation Inc. We have national reach and impact, working with National Center for Learning Disabilities We are listed on numerous Scholarship platforms and search engines We have increased our donations and donor base by roughly 10- 20 % each year We initiated the Joseph James Morelli Endowed Fellowship with the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia to support a graduate student struggling with Learning Challenges (dyslexia) to help better understand the gaps in teacher training and education • One of only a few scholarships in the US for young adults with Dyslexia • Since 2014 we have supported 77 students with $150,000! • Since 2015 we have received a total of 600+ scholarship applications • In 2019 we awarded $66,000 to 41 students in 28 states, • We helped to initiate a Task Force at the University of Utah to improve the accommodations awarded to the students. • Joseph was a MSU student in the College of Engineering hence we were the featured Scholarship at the 2019 Montana State Inaugural Dyslexia Initiative Symposium • Dr Barbara Wirostko was asked to give a TedX talk in Bozeman, Montana last April 2019 on Joseph’s story • Most importantly and these students tell us again and again – we impact them, we Recognize their struggles, - Empower them – and show that we Believe in them. Check out their quotes on our webpage www.morelli.foundation • Each year we hold events in Utah and around the country to raise awareness of the importance of this work. What is next is continuing to grow our donors, continue to raise awareness and start to provide scholarships for testing ( earlier recognition of the underlying challenge). To help identify struggling young adults/students who may be failing and get them the testing to enable and award the IEP and/or 504 which will allow for the accommodations. These accommodations once in place can change the trajectory of a failing/ struggling young adult. As they did for Joseph
