| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 3b Qualified Under 501C(4)(5) Or (6) | Annually, the supported organization completes a pro forma schedule a, part III to confirm it satisfies the public support tests under section 509(a)(2). The supporting calculation is kept in the supporting organization's files. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 3c Support To Org. Used Exclusively Sec. 170(c)(2) Purposes | As outlined in its governing documents, the supporting organization operates exclusively for charitable, educational religious, or scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, the Foundation engages in activities that align with the supported organization's exempt purpose of uniting THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY IN CHICAGO THROUGH EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section C, Line 1 Majority director detail | As a supporting organization, the Foundation is supervised and controlled in connection with the Chicago Association of Realtors, and therefore is designated as a Type II supporting organization. The Foundation meets this classification because the management of the Foundation is vested in the same persons that control or manage the Association. Specifically, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association serves as both the top management official as well as an ex-officio Director of the Foundation, and the President-Elect of the Association also serves as a Director of the Foundation. Furthermore, two Directors of the Association are also Directors of the Foundation. The involvement of key Association leadership on the Foundation board assures that the Foundation will be responsive to the needs and requirements of the Association. |
