    Explanation:
    THE FOUNDATION SOUGHT TO AMEND THE U.S. TAX CODE TO CREATE A NEW TYPE OF TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION, AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS (AROS), FOR THE ACTIVE CONDUCT OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE FOUNDATION WILL BE ABLE TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCH AN ORGANIZATION AND THEREBY QUALIFY AS A PUBLIC CHARITY RATHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A). THE PROPOSED AROS WOULD FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT OF PRIVATE WEALTH INTO THE CHARITABLE (AGRICULTURE) RESEARCH SECTOR; CREATE NEW DOMESTIC RESEARCH CAPACITY; COMPLEMENT PUBLIC AGRICULTURAL FUNDING AND RESEARCH; AND CREATE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES WITH AFFILILATED PUBLIC LAND-GRANT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND/OR NON-LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES OF AGRICULTURE. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THE FOUNDATION LOBBIED THE U.S. CONGRESS FOR THE NARROW PURPOSE OF ENACTING THIS LEGISLATION. PURSUANT TO THE WELL-RECOGNIZED SELF-DEFENSE EXCEPTION OR IRC SECTION 4945(E), THE LEGISLATION, AS ENACTED, IMPACTED BOTH THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE FOUNDATION AND THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION, THUS QUALIFYING THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS EXCEPTION. THE FOUNDATION'S LOBBYING EFFORTS DID NOT CONSTITUTE A SUBSTANTIAL ACTIVITY COMPARED TO ITS OVERALL ACTIVITIES IN ANY YEAR. BEFORE ENGAGING IN THESE ACTIVITIES, THE FOUNDATION CONSULTED WITH AND OBTAINED AN OPINION FROM OUTSIDE COUNSEL REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING THE THEN-PROPOSED LEGISLATION, AND IRC SECTION 4945. THE LEGAL OPINION CONCLUDED THAT THE COSTS INCURRED BY THE FOUNDATION TO LOBBY FOR THE ENACTMENT OF THIS SPECIFIC LEGISLATION SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TAXABLE EXPENDITURES PURSUANT TO THE SELF-DEFENSE EXCEPTION. IN 2012, THE FOUNDATION COMPLETED AN IRS EXAMINATION OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND THE IRS SPECIFICALLY REVIEWED THE FOUNDATION'S ACTIVITIES AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE IRS AFFIRMED THAT SUCH ACTIVITY WAS NOT CONSIDERED A TAXABLE EXPENDITURE. THE FOUNDATION'S LOBBYING ACTIVITIES CONCLUDED ON DECEMBER 18, 2015. THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW THE PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM TAX HIKES ACT OF 2015, WHICH INCLUDED A PROVISION EQUAL TO THE CHARITABLE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ACT (S. 908). UPON SIGNING, THE LAW CREATED, IN PART, AROS. ANY APPLICANT CAN SEEK RECOGNITION OF TAX EXEMPTION AS AN ARO THROUGH A FORM 1023.

    Identifier Return Reference Explanation
    OVERVIEW OF DIRECT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES PART IX-A OVERVIEW OF DIRECT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES PART IX-A The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, headquartered in Ardmore, Okla., is an independent, nonprofit institute conducting plant science research and agricultural programs to enhance agricultural productivity, which positively impacts agriculture regionally, nationally and internationally. Founded in 1945, the Noble Foundation continues the vision of its founder, Lloyd Noble, to influence agriculture by exploring and improving production agriculture techniques and advancing plant science through research and discovery. The Noble Foundation has become a leading plant and agricultural research institute that: (a) conducts fundamental research for plant gene/trait discovery; (b) conducts fundamental research to produce critical, publicly available genomic/genetic resources for researchers worldwide; (c) performs translational and developmental research to incorporate innovations and discoveries into plants; (d) performs plant breeding and development; and (e)evalutes and assesses crops and technology in a production agricultural environment for performance and value assessment. These research operations complement the Noble Foundation's agricultural programs, which involve long-term, professional relationships with regional agricultural producers to assist them in achieving their individual production, financial and quality-of-life goals. The Noble Foundation's operations are conducted through three operating divisions: Agricultural, Plant Biology and Forage Improvement. The Noble Foundation employs more than 330 staff members in these operating divisions and their supporting groups, representing 20 or more countries. Among these employees, approximately 90 hold doctorate level degrees. These operations are based on an 800 acre campus which includes more than 500,000 square feet of research and administration space and a complementary 13,000 acres of farms offering different operating characteristics in southern Oklahoma. In 2015, Noble Foundation agricultural consultants and scientists published more than 71 peer-reviewed articles in scientifically respected journals and, received four (4) issued U.S. and international patents, and filed six (6) U.S. patent applications. In furtherance of its charitable mission and its commitment to advance the fields of plant science and production agriculture, Noble Foundation agricultural consultants and scientists formally collaborate with a broad base of academic and government institutions, participating as a collaborating institution in the U.S. Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and collaborating with institutions such as Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension, University of North Texas, Texas Agrilife Research, Texas AgriLife Extension Service, University of Georgia-Athens, Iowa State University, Cornell University, University of Kentucky, University of California-Los Angeles, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Delaware, West Virginia University, University of Missouri-Columbia, University of Wisconsin, University of Tennessee, LSU Agricultural Center, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, University of Florida, Mississippi State University, Kansas State University, University of California-Berkley, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The Noble Foundation was a founding member of the Association of Independent Plant Research Institutes (AIPI), which furthers collaboration and close communication with other member institutions: Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, and the Plant Biology Department of the Carnegie Institute for Science. In support of its research, the Noble Foundation receives public support from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Moreover, through its youth outreach and education program, Noble Academy, The Noble Foundation is collaborating with a local private school, Oak Hall Episcopal School (Grades 7-8), and local public schools, including Plainview Middle School, Ardmore Middle School and Dickson Middle and High Schools. Additionally, through Middle and High School teacher workshops, Noble Academy is reaching teachers (and their students) across the State of Oklahoma. Outside of the traditional classroom setting, Noble Academey works with other nonprofit organizations, for example, 4-H, Oklahoma FFA (Future Farmers of America), and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, to share with urban and rural students in grades 7-12 the importance of agriculture and agricultural research through hands-on, interactive experiences. In furtherance of developing and delivering these educational experiences, The Noble Foundation and Noble Academy further collaborate with the University of Oklahoma, The Oklahoma Department of Education, The Southern Oklahoma Technology Center (SOTC), The Oklahoma School for Science and Mathematics, and Oklahoma Farm Bureau. Support for operations causes our funds spent for operating and administrative costs, as reported on Part I, to be higher than an exclusively granting foundation. The calculation below shows how our administrative and operating costs are allocated into the operating groups. Operating and administrative costs (Part I-Line 24) $39,770,663. Amounts paid to acquire assets (Part XII-Line 2) $8,383,537 and grants paid (Part I-Line 25) $1,564,043 equal the total amount paid for charitable purposes of $49,718,243. Direct charitable activities and administrative expenses for charitable purposes (Part IX-A): Agricultural division $14,605,646; Forage Improvement division $12,437,788; and Plant Biology division $15,962,401 equal the total direct charitable activities of $43,005,835 plus contributions, gifts, grants paid of $1,564,043 equal total direct charitable activities and grants paid of $44,569,878. Administrative expenses not related to direct operations are $5,148,367. Administrative expenses as a percentage of funds spent for charitable purposes equals 10.36%.
    OKLAHOMA LIFE SCIENCES FUND PART VII-B, LINE 5(C), PAGE 6 &PART IX-B-LINE1 OKLAHOMA LIFE SCIENCES FUND PART VII-B, LINE 5(C), PAGE 6 &PART IX-B-LINE1 During the tax years 2002-2004 and 2006, the Foundation made grants to an organization other than a charitable organization described in section 509(a)(1), (2), or (3), or section 4940(d)(2). Those grants totaling $1,502,539.90 were for program related investment in the Oklahoma Life Sciences Fund, LLC. Following is the required expenditure responsibility report: Name/address of Grantee:Oklahoma Life Sciences Fund, LLC, 800 Research Pkwy STE 385, Oklahoma City, OK 73102. No grant funds were paid during the reporting period of 2015. The purpose of the grant (program-related investment) was to accomplish the charitable purpose of advancing research and development of technology in the life sciences. The Foundation considers such an investment critical to advancing developments in the life-sciences field, so as to advance agricultural and medical research in Oklahoma, consistent with its exempt purpose. The grantee expended the amounts as it received them from the Foundation to advance research in life sciences as discussed above. To the knowledge of the Foundation, the grantee has not diverted any portion of the funds from the purpose of the grant. The grantee provided the Foundation with reports and other information on the use of funds that enabled the Foundation to verify compliance with the terms of the grant, and the progress made by the grantee toward achieving the purposes for which the grant was made. The Foundation believes that OLSF has complied with the terms of the grant, without exception. At this point, all original capital of OLSF has been invested and it is a mature fund. Reports and Information/Dates: 2015 Annual Report Pursuant to Regulation 53.4945 received 07/19/2016. The Foundation's Vice President and General Counsel reviewed the reports upon receipt. The investment was carried at cost at December 31, 2009 of $1,502,540. Based on information provided by the administrator of the fund for the year ending December 31, 2010, the value was written down to $388,557. No additional verification was considered necessary.
