Facts And Circumstances Test
The Center qualifies as a publicly supported organization under the facts and circumstances test set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9T(F)(3). The Center's public support exceeded the 10 percent threshold for public charities. Moreover, the Center's ongoing program of solicitations, its sources of support, its governing body and the programs it conducts all demonstrate sufficient public support to meet the facts and circumstances test. The Center's 2013 public support efforts continued an extensive program initiated in 2008. This program includes regular meetings with top executives at many of the nation's largest foundations and corporations to build relationships that will lead to financial support. The ongoing fundraising efforts are expected to raise the public support percentage in future years. Its current sources of support include a variety of private foundations, public charities, businesses and individuals. The Center's public support is further demonstrated by its governing body, which represents the broad interest of the general public. Directors and officers include executives from large national corporations, public charities, and foundations, which bring specialized knowledge and experience in international relations, economic development, education, global security, and civic leadership. The Center provides programs to the general public on a continuing basis, including event sin 2013 in a variety of states around the country, which drew thousands of people. Participants and attendees include members of Congress, state legislators, former governors, retired military leaders, journalists, internal affairs specialists, and other civic leaders and members of the public with specialized expertise in the subject of U.S. global engagement.
