    Client Note 1 - Schedule A Facts & Circumstances 2010Background:The Caldwell Kiwanis Youth Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) was incorporated April 7, 1986, and its application for exemption was approved by the Internal Revenue Service by letter dated December 16, 1988. The Foundation was created by the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell (a 501(c)(4) organization) for the purpose of encouraging, promoting and fostering the health, education and welfare of young people living in the community of Caldwell, Idaho and the surrounding vicinity.The Foundation is governed by a board of directors consisting of four members appointed by the board of directors of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell. The Foundation board of directors includes a business manager, an attorney and two certified public accountants. All Foundation board members are members of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell and three are past presidents. Foundation board members are also active in other community organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, Caldwell Foundation for Educational Opportunity, Elks Lodge, schools, churches and others. The Kiwanis Club of Caldwell is a service club with approximately 45 members. The Kiwanis Club of Caldwell appoints the board members of the Foundation and makes recommendations regarding charitable uses of the Foundation's funds. The club membership is broad-based and is represented by such fields as accounting, law, religion, insurance, education, government and healthcare to name a few. Until 1998 the Foundation easily met the public support test. However, the investment earnings related to the receipt of two unrelated large donations in 1998 resulted in a substantial decrease in the public support percentage. The public support percentage indicated on the 1999 Schedule A dropped to 20.90%. The public support percentage for the 2009 Schedule A was 19.30%, and the current percentage for 2010 is 17.90%. Public support decreased more than expected in 2009 and 2010, probably due to the poor economy. Efforts to increase public support will be renewed. These percentages are expected to increase subsequent to 2010 due to anticipated additional public support, but it is not likely the 33 1/3% level of public support will be achieved.Financial and Support:Prior to the year ended April 30, 1999, the Foundation was never required to file a form 990 because its gross receipts never met the $25,000 filing threshold. From 1986 to 1998 annual gross receipts ranged from $1,219 to $4,883, and the public support percentage (unadjusted for gifts over 2% of total support, if any) averaged 71.72%. Total assets of the Foundation on April 30, 1998 were $28,075.In June of 1998 the Foundation received $95,519 from an individual as an endowment for the purpose of funding two or more post-secondary scholarships for graduating seniors of Middleton High School. Middleton is a small community approximately 8 miles from Caldwell. The donor (now deceased) regularly made inquiries regarding the financial status of the endowment, but was not affiliated with the Foundation or the Kiwanis Club in any way.In July of 1998 the Foundation received a donation of $160,000 as a 10% remainder beneficiary of a family trust. A final distribution of $16,305 was received from the trust in August of 1999. This gift was an unrestricted gift. The trust grantor's deceased husband was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell in the 1940s and 1950s. The trust has terminated and the remaining family members, if any, have no involvement with the Foundation or the Kiwanis Club.As the result of the investment earnings on the two large gifts described above, the Foundation no longer meets the 33.33% public support test.During the last 4 years, the charitable activities of the Foundation consisted of 40 scholarships totaling $51,380 and contributions to the local YMCA Strong Kids Campaign of $9,002 The scholarship program is an ongoing program where the Foundation expects to award at least seven scholarships annually. College scholarships have been awarded to graduates of five local high schools. The YMCA Strong Kids Campaign provides funds so that no child is turned away from the YMCA because of inability to pay. Prior to the last 4 years, the Foundation has helped finance improvements at Curtis Park. The improvements at Curtis Park are expected to take several years to complete. Curtis Park is a city park located on the Boise River and maintained in a natural state so that native plants and wildlife can be observed. Planned improvements include a paved parking area, a boardwalk through the park, a bridge and eventually a connection to the City's greenbelt. This project is a joint project involving the City of Caldwell, local charities, Kiwanis members and the Job Corps.The Foundation has incurred only $39.00 of administrative expenses to date. All services and costs have been donated by members of the board of directors or the Kiwanis Club members. The annual forms 990 have been prepared by members of the Foundation board of directors at no charge.Future Public Support:The Foundation's traditional sources of public support have been Kiwanis Club member donations, a portion of Kiwanis Club member dues designated as contributions, memorials and recycling receipts.A portion of the annual dues of each member of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell is designated as a contribution to the Foundation. Annual contributions from the current dues payments should be approximately $400-$500.Memorials have been a substantial but inconsistent source of public support. During the last twelve fiscal years, memorials for 10 individuals generated 71 contributions totaling $5,266. Membership of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell has also been reminded to think of the Foundation when giving memorials.The Fritz Gebert Scholarship Fund is an endowment held by the Foundation that provides scholarships for graduates of Middleton High School. Last year two scholarships were awarded for $2,500 each. However, this fund has received few additional contributions since it was created. The Foundation has contacted Middleton High School administrators regarding soliciting additional support for this fund. The school officials were receptive to the proposal and plan to study different fund raising possibilities. The Foundation received a $200 donation from Middleton High School during the fiscal year ended in 2004.The Foundation board of directors continue to explore additional sources of public support. Conclusion:The Foundation easily met the public support test prior to the receipt of the two large donations in 1998. The increased investment earnings on these donations resulted in a dramatic decrease in the public support percentage. Public support has increased considerably since these gifts, but is not nearly enough to reach the 33 1/3% public support percentage. The Foundation believes it can generate additional public support and maintain the public support percentage above 10%. Based on the information presented, the Foundation respectfully requests its publicly supported status be maintained under the facts and circumstances test.
