Facts And Circumstances Test
THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT MEET THE 33 1/3% SUPPORT TEST OF IRC 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). ITS PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT, CALCULATED BASED ON THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD (2006 - 2010) OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION, IS 30.78%. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION FEELS STRONGLY THAT IT DOES MEET THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS IT FUNCTIONS AS A PUBLIC CHARITY IN THAT IT RECEIVES CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND FEES FROM ITS MEMBERS, WHO ARE GENERALLY PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS, SCIENTISTS, AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF TRANSPLANT MEDICINE AND IMMUNOLOGY. THE ORGANIZATION ATTEMPTS TO ENROLL, AS MEMBERS, A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF PROFESSIONALS FROM THIS SPECIALIZED FIELD. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT ITS GOVERNING BOARD REPRESENTS THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC RATHER THAN THOSE OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS IN THAT ITS GOVERNING BOARD IS ENTIRELY COMPRISED OF PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS, SCIENTISTS AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO SPECIALIZE IN TRANSPLANT MEDICINE. THESE PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS, SCIENTISTS AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS SERVE ON A ROTATING BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC BY FACILITATING A NATIONAL EXCHANGE OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION AND ADVANCES IN THE FIELD OF TRANSPLANT MEDICINE. THIS IN TURN RESULTS IN HIGHER QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR TRANSPLANT PATIENTS. THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT MEET THE 33 1/3% TEST IN PART BECAUSE IT RECEIVED SEVERAL LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM CORPORATE DONORS WHO SUPPORT GRANTS FOR PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS, SCIENTISTS AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF TRANSPLANT MEDICINE. CORPORATE CONTRIBUTIONS ALSO SUPPORT MEETINGS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR TRANSPLANT CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS.
