Facts And Circumstances Test
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS DETERMINED THAT YAKIMA KIWANIS CHARITABLE TRUST FOUNDATION (THE TAXPAYER) IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION PURSUANT TO IRC SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). IRC SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) PROVIDE THAT AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WILL BE CONSIDERED A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY (I.E. NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION) AS LONG AS THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM A GOVERNMENTAL UNIT OR FROM DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE FOUNDATION MUST SUBMIT INFORMATION TO THE IRS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS (ON FORM 990) THAT ESTABLISHES THAT THE ORGANIZATION MEETS THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST UNDER IRC SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI). TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TAXPAYER DOES NOT MEET THIS SUPPORT TEST, THE IRS MAY RECLASSIFY THE TAXPAYER AS A PRIVATE FOUNDATION AND ASSESS CERTAIN EXCISE TAXES FOR ALL YEARS SINCE INCEPTION.TO QUALIFY AS A NON PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER IRC SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI), THE TAXPAYER MUST RECEIVE A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT IN GIFTS, GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND/OR A GOVERNMENTAL UNIT. A "SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT" IS MET IF AT LEAST 33 1/3% OF THE TOTAL SUPPORT NORMALLY RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION COMES FROM GIFTS, GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS. "NORMALLY" GENERALLY MEANS MEETING THIS REQUIREMENT FOR THE PRECEDING FIVE TAXABLE YEARS. CONTRIBUTIONS BY ANY PERSON (OTHER THAN A GOVERNMENTAL UNIT OR 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) ORGANIZATION) ARE TREATED AS "ALLOWABLE SUPPORT" FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS BY SUCH PERSONS DURING THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD DO NOT EXCEED TWO PERCENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S TOTAL SUPPORT FOR SUCH FIVE YEAR PERIOD.GIFTS IN KIND ARE TREATED THE SAME AS CASH CONTRIBUTIONS FOR PURPOSES OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST. AN ORGANIZATION MAY EXCLUDE FROM ITS CALCULATION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AMOUNTS THAT QUALIFY AS "UNUSUAL GRANTS". UNUSUAL GRANTS ARE DEFINED AS SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OR BEQUESTS FROM DISINTERESTED PARTIES WHICH:* ARE ATTRACTED BY REASON OF THE PUBLICLY SUPPORTED NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION;* ARE UNUSUAL OR UNEXPECTED WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT THEREOF; AND * WOULD, BY REASON OF THEIR SIZE, ADVERSELY AFFECT THE STATUS OF THE ORGANIZATION AS NORMALLY BEING PUBLICLY SUPPORTED FOR THE APPLICABLE PERIOD.IF THE TAXPAYER DOES NOT MEET THE 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST, IT MAY QUALIFY UNDER THE 10% PERCENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST TO PREVENT IT FROM LOSING ITS PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS.AN ORGANIZATION WILL MEET THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST IF IT NORMALLY RECEIVES 10% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS TEST, THE TERMS "NORMALLY" AND "SUPPORT" HAVE BASICALLY THE SAME MEANING AS THEY HAVE IN THE 33 1/3% SUPPORT TEST. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION MUST SHOW THAT IT IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED SO AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT. FINALLY, ALL PERTINENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN DETERMINING IF THE ORGANIZATION IS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED. SUCH FACTORS INCLUDE THE DEGREE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, SOURCES OF SUPPORT, THE ORGANIZATION'S REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY AND THE AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SERVICES, FACILITIES OR PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC PROGRAMS OR POLICIES.BASED ON OUR COMPUTATION OF THE PUBLIC CHARITY SUPPORT TEST (SEE SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION C, LINE 14) FOR THE FIVE YEARS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2010 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2014, THE TAXPAYER FAILS THE MECHANICAL 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST SINCE 21.98% OF ITS TOTAL SUPPORT COMES FROM GIFTS, GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS.IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, THE ORGANIZATION DOES QUALIFY AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER THE 10% FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST. THE TAXPAYER NORMALLY RECEIVES MORE THAN 10% OF ITS SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCE" REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHING THAT IT SERVES BROAD-BASED PUBLIC INTERESTS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED [TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(E)(3)].* ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT - THE ORGANIZATION IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENT SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE YAKIMA KIWANIS CHARITABLE TRUST FOUNDATION (THE TRUST) WAS ORIGINALLY DETERMINED TO BE A PUBLIC CHARITY USING THE 509(A)(3) EXEMPTION FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATION STATUS. THE TRUST NOW WISHES TO CHANGE TO THE 509(A)(1) EXEMPTION FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATION STATUS.
