Facts And Circumstances Test
1.) 26 FR SECTION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I) TEN-PERCENT SUPPORT LIMITATION: THE MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI ("THE HOME") HAS CONSISTENTLY SATISFIED THE 33 1/3 PERCENT REQUIREMENT OVER THE YEARS. SINCE QUALIFYING FOR PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS, THE HOME HAS FAILED THIS TEST 3 TIMES BY A MARGIN NEVER EXCEEDING 2.54 PERCENT. AT THE END OF TAX YEAR 2013, THE HOME HAS FAILED THIS TEST FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, BY MARGINS OF 1.51 PERCENT AND 1.92 PERCENT FOR 2012 AND 2013, RESPECTIVELY.2.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(II) ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: THE HOME HAS AN ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES MULTIPLE FORMAL AND CONTINUOUS FUNDRAISING EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES. DURING A TYPICAL YEAR, THE HOME CONDUCTS TWO DIRECT MAIL APPEALS (ONE IN THE SPRING AND ONE DURING THE HOLIDAYS) AND HOLDS A CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT. DURING 2013, THE HOME SENT ONE DIRECT MAIL APPEAL, BUT HELD TWO GOLF TOURNAMENTS, AND A PATRON DINNER TO CELEBRATE THE HOME'S 125TH ANNIVERSARY. THE HOME OFFERS MULTIPLE GIVING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, INCLUDING GRANITE STONES AVAILABLE FOR ENGRAVING IN THE SQUARE & COMPASS COURTYARD. MEMBERS OF THE MASONIC FRATERNITY CAN ALSO DONATE VIA THE PENNY-A-DAY PROGRAM THROUGH THEIR ANNUAL DUES. THE HOME RECEIVES MEMORIAL DONATIONS FOR MEMBERS THAT HAVE PASSED AND HAS BEEN REMEMBERED IN THE WILLS AND TRUSTS OF MANY INDIVIDUALS OVER THE YEARS. OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE MASONIC HOME HAS BEGUN TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAM. THIS, ALONG WITH A RENEWED FOCUS ON MAJOR AND PLANNED GIVING, WILL CONTINUE INTO THE 2014 TAX YEAR.3.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(A) PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: THE HOME HAS ALWAYS ENDED EACH YEAR EITHER ABOVE OR VERY CLOSE TO THE 33 1/3 PERCENT TEST, WELL ABOVE THE 10 PERCENT REQUIRED FOR THIS TEST. THE PERCENTAGE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT OF THE HOME HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPACTED BY THE STRONG PERFORMANCE OF AND INCOME EARNED ON INVESTMENTS. TOTAL INVESTMENT INCOME ACCOUNTS FOR 95% OF NON-SUPPORT INCOME. ENDOWMENTS RECEIVED FROM HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUAL DONORS OVER A 100-YEAR TIMEFRAME ACCOUNT FOR 33% OF NON-SUPPORT INCOME. INVESTMENT INCOME MADE UP 62% OF TOTAL INCOME AND 22% OF TOTAL INCOME CAME FROM ENDOWMENTS FUNDED BY HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS OVER A 100-YEAR TIMEFRAME. BECAUSE THE HOME HAS BEEN CONSERVATIVE IN ITS INVESTMENT APPROACH AND HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON BOTH GROWTH AND INCOME, THE PORTFOLIOS HAVE GROWN AND HAVE PROVIDED MORE AND MORE INCOME OVER THE YEARS. BECAUSE THE HOME HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ITS INVESTMENT APPROACH, THE INVESTMENT INCOME HAS GROWN CAUSING THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIRED TO MEET THE 33 1/3 TEST TO BE HIGHER, WHICH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN CONSISTENTLY. INCOME EARNED OFF OF THE ENDOWMENT DONATIONS OF HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS OVER A 100-YEAR TIMEFRAME COMPOSED 22% OF TOTAL INCOME. IF THIS INCOME WAS ALLOWED TO BE INCLUDED IN PUBLIC SUPPORT, BECAUSE THE UNDERLYING DONATION WAS ITSELF PUBLIC SUPPORT, THE HOME WOULD HAVE ENDED THE 2013 YEAR WITH 53.46% IN PUBLIC SUPPORT.4.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(B) SOURCES OF SUPPORT: THE HOME RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM MASONS, EASTERN STAR MEMBERS, NON-MASONIC INDIVIDUALS, AND CORPORATIONS. THE HOME REACHES OUT TO ALL MISSOURI MASONS AND RECEIVES DONATIONS FROM A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THEM IN SOME WAY. ACCORDING TO THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI, AS OF 6/30/14 THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MISSOURI MASONS. THE REPORT NOTED THAT SOME MEMBERS ARE INCLUDED IN MULTIPLE CATEGORIES, SO THE NUMBER PRESENTED IS AN ESTIMATE. OVER 6000 MASONIC AND NON-MASONIC INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS DONATED TO THE HOME DURING THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD IN QUESTION. IN ADDITION, AN ESTIMATED 18,200 MASONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE HOME THROUGH THE PENNY-A-DAY PROGRAM. THIS CALCULATES TO APPROXIMATELY 45% OF THE TOTAL ESTIMATED MASONIC MEMBERSHIP. THE HOME OCCASIONALLY RECEIVES LARGE DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE REMEMBERED THE HOME IN THEIR ESTATE OR TRUST. BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF SOME OF THESE DONATIONS, A PORTION IS EXCLUDED FROM THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST; HOWEVER, THESE HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AFTER THE INDIVIDUAL HAS PASSED AWAY AND THE INDIVIDUAL HAS NO INFLUENCE OVER THE FUTURE ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE HOME HAS BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES FOR 125 YEARS, EVOLVING FROM BRICKS-AND-MORTAR BEGINNING IN 1889 TO 100% OF SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH EIGHT PROGRAMS WITHIN THE OUTREACH PROGRAM BY 2014. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE HOME ASSISTED 107 MASONIC-AFFILIATED INDIVIDUALS AND OVER 7000 NON-MASONIC CHILDREN. OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS, THE HOME ASSISTED 363 MASONIC-AFFILIATED INDIVIDUALS AND ALMOST 20,000 NON-MASONIC CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE STATE.5.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(C) REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: THE MEMBERS OF THE MASONIC HOME BOARD OF DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED BASED ON THE BY-LAWS OF THE MASONIC HOME OF MISSOURI AND OF THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI. THE TOP FIVE OFFICERS REPRESENT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI. THE REMAINING EIGHT MEMBERS ARE ELECTED DURING THE ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE GRAND LODGE AND ARE CHOSEN GEOGRAPHICALLY TO REPRESENT EACH AREA OF THE STATE.6.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(D)(1) AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES: THE HOME PROVIDES SERVICES THROUGH FOUR FINANCIAL AND FOUR NON-FINANCIAL PROGRAMS. ALL PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS, WHERE APPLICABLE, YEAR-ROUND. THE HOME PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON AN ON-GOING MONTHLY BASIS OR FOR ONE-TIME NEEDS. THE HOME ASSISTED 70 INDIVIDUALS ON A MONTHLY BASIS DURING 2013. OF THOSE, 62 CLIENTS WERE ASSISTED FOR A PERIOD OF 6 CONTINUOUS MONTHS OR MORE AND 50 CLIENTS ASSISTED DURING 2013 WERE ASSISTED FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS OR MORE.7.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(D)(3)(I) PARTICIPATION BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVING SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE, PUBLIC OFFICIALS, OR CIVIC COMMUNITY LEADERS: THE MASONIC HOME PARTNERS WITH LODGES AND CHAPTERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO HELP CHILDREN IN NEED. THROUGH THE PROGRAM, THE HOME WORKS WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS, FOOD BANKS, CHURCHES, BACKPACK PROGRAMS, AND OTHER CHARITABLE GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MISSOURI.8.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(D)(3)(II) MAINTENANCE OF A DEFINITIVE PROGRAM OF CHARITABLE WORK: THE MASONIC HOME OFFERS EIGHT DISTINCT PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND TO MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS, WHERE APPLICABLE. THE PROGRAMS ARE AS FOLLOWS: LONG-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, SHORT-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, CHILDREN'S OUTREACH, CREATING-A-PARTNERSHIP, SOCIAL SERVICES, WIDOWS PROGRAM, MASONIC FAMILY CARES AND FINANCIAL COUNSELING.9.) PARAGRAPH (F)(3)(III)(E)(3) APPEAL OF ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES TO PERSONS HAVING SOME BROAD COMMON INTEREST OR PURPOSE: THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION APPEAL TO THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE WITH FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE FALLEN ON HARD TIMES (LOSS OF JOB, MEDICAL EMERGENCY, ETC.) AND THOSE THAT NEED ASSISTANCE LEARNING BASIC PERSONAL FINANCE SKILLS.
