Facts And Circumstances Test
PT II LINE 17A: FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST (TEMPORARY REGULATION - 1.170A-9T(F)(3)); ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST IN TEMPORARY REGULATION; SECTION 1.170A-9T(F)(3) IN THE FOLLOWING MANNERS:; 1. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(I) REQUIRES THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF SUPPORT BE DERIVED FROM GOVERNMENT; FUNDING OR PUBLIC SUPPORT. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION IS DEFINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH AS 10% OF THE TOTAL; SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION. ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE'S PERCENTAGE IN 2011 IS 24.18% AND HAS BEEN OVER; 10% IN PRIOR YEARS.; 2. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(II) REQUIRES THAT THE ORGANIZATION BE ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A METHOD TO; ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. ALLEGHENY; INSTITUTE MEETS THE REQUIREMENT BY MAINTAINING A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR; SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. SOLICITATION METHODS EMPLOYED INCLUDE:; A. DIRECT MAIL SOLICITATIONS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN SURROUNDING AREA AS WELL AS TO; FOUNDATIONS AND OTHER GRANT-MAKING ORGANIZATIONS,; B. FUNCTIONS HOSTED BY BOARD MEMBERS, OR OTHER SUPPORTERS OF ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE TO SOLICIT; DONATIONS,; C. RADIO AND PRINT ADVERTISEMENTS,; D.

PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(A) INDICATES THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM PUBLIC OR; GOVERNMENTAL SOURCES IS CONSIDERED IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE ORGANIZATION IS; "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." THIS PARAGRAPH STATES "THE HIGHER THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT; ABOVE THE 10 PERCENT REQUIREMENT IN PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(I) OF THIS SECTION FROM PUBLIC OR; GOVERNMENTAL SOURCES, THE LESSER WILL BE THE BURDEN OF ESTABLISHING THE PUBLICLY; SUPPORTED NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH OTHER FACTORS DESCRIBED IN THIS; PARAGRAPH...." ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE IS 24.84%,; WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY GREATER THAN THE REQUIRED 10 PERCENT THRESHOLD.; B. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(B) STATES THAT AN ORGANIZATION IS CONSIDERED TO BE "POUBLICLY; SUPPORTED" IF IT RECEIVES A REPRESENTATIVE AMOUNT OF ITS DONATIONS FROM THE GENERAL; PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, INSTEAD OF THE MEMBER OF ONE SINGLE FAMILY. ALLEGHENY; INSTITUTE RECEIVES DONATIONS FROM MANY DONORS, AND THERE IS NO ONE SINGLE FAMILY; THAT IS PROVIDING THE MAJORITY OF SUPPORT FOR THE ORGANIZATION.; C. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(C) REQUIRES THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING; BODY WHICH REPRESENTS THE BROAD INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC, RATHER THAN THE PERSONAL OR; PRIVATE INTERESTS OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF DONORS. ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS; ARE FROM NUMEROUS SECTORS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, INCLUDING EDUCATORS, COMMUNITY; LEADERS, BUSINESS OWNERS AND MANAGERS, AND FINANCIAL EXPERTS.; D. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(D)(2) STATES THAT AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS A RESEARCH INSTITUTION WHICH; REGULARLY PUBLISHES SCHOLARLY STUDIES THAT ARE WIDELY USED BY MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL; PUBLIC IS EVIDENCE THAT SUCH AN ORGANIZATION IS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE; FOR PUBLIC POLICY REGULARLY PUBLISHES STUDIES IN THE LOACL NEWSPAPERS, AND TO OTHER LOCAL; MEDIA OUTLETS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATING AND INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE; GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES OF THE REGION.; E. PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(D)(3)(I) LISTS THAT THE PARTICIPATION IN, OR SPONSORSHIP OF, THE; PROGRAMS OF THE ORGANIZATION BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVING SPECIAL KNOWLEDGER OR; EXPERTISE, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, OR CIVIC OR COMMUNITY LEADERS IS A FACTOR THAT SUPPORTS THE; ORGANIZATION'S STATUS AS "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED." ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE IS INVITED MANY TIMES; DURING THE YEAR TO PARTICIPATE IN EXPERT PANELS AND CONFERENCES GIVEN AT LOCAL; UNIVERSITIES ON TOPICS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE UNIVERSITY'S PROGRAMS OR TEACHINGS.; ADDITIONALLY, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND OTHER MEMEBERS OF THE PUBLIC HOST LUNCHEON AND; DINNER EVENTS IN WHICH THEY INVITE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO HEAR A LECTURE FROM A; RESEARCHER AT ALLEGHENY INSTITUTE.; OTHER ADDL INFO: INCOME FROM A FUNDRAISING EVENT, AS WELL AS OTHER MISCELLANEOUS INCOME; OTHER INCOME PART II, LINE 10; DESCRIPTION: OTHER INCOME; 2008: 238.; 2009: 49.; 2012: 10.;
