Explanation
PART II, SECTION C, LINE 18
FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES: ALTHOUGH THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT MEET THE SAFE HARBOR TEST FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT (THIRTY THREE AND ONE-THIRD), IT BELIEVES THAT THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S CONTINUANCE AS A PUBLIC CHARITY. IN SUMMARY, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVES FUNDING FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS, PUBLIC CHARITIES AND LARGE FOUNDATIONS. NONE OF THESE FUNDING SOURCES ARE RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION NOR DO THEY EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS. THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ALSO SHOW THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROCESS FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS. FINALLY, THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT OUR PROGRAMS ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND THAT OUR GOVERNING BOARD IS PUBLIC IN NATURE. AMOUNT OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL UNITS OR PUBLIC CHARITIES FROM ITS INCEPTION THROUGH FEBRUARY 28, 2010 THROUGH FEBRUARY 29, 2016, THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL AND PUBLIC CHARITIES TOTALING $345,291. NONE OF THESE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE FROM OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES OR KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION. ALTHOUGH THE BALANCE OF ITS FUNDING COMES FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, THESE FOUNDATIONS ARE NOT THE TYPICAL "FAMILY" FUNDED AND OPERATED FOUNDATIONS WHERE THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONTRIBUTOR AND FOUNDATION RESULTS IN UNDUE INFLUENCE ON THE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. RATHER, THE ORGANIZATION'S FUNDING IS FROM LARGE BUSINESSLIKE ENTITIES (SUCH AS THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION OR CARNEGIE CORPORATION OF NEW YORK OR FORD FOUNDATION) WHO ARE MAJOR FUNDERS IN THE TAX-EXEMPT WORLD AND WHO DO NOT EXERT INFLUENCE OVER THE ORGANIZATION. THESE FOUNDATIONS DO NOT PARTICIPATE ON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NOR DO THEY PARTICIPATE IN OUR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OR EXERT ANY OTHER SIMILAR TYPE OF INFLUENCE ON OUR ORGANIZATION OR OPERATIONS. GRANTS/FUNDING FROM THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE EARNED THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS BASED ON THE MERIT AND EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR PROGRAMS, THE REPUTATION THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS DEVELOPED AND THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR OPERATIONS. CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS THE ORGANIZATION HAS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR THE SOLICITATION OF FUNDS IN BOTH THE RESTRICTED OPERATING GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTION ARENAS. WITH RESPECT TO RESTRICTED OPERATING GRANTS, THE ORGANIZATION REGULARLY MUST APPLY FOR FUNDING THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FROM GRANT MAKING ORGANIZATIONS. THIS PROCESS INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, SUBMITTING A NARRATIVE AND COST PROPOSAL FOR THE PROGRAM, AN INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH THE RELATIVE PROGRAM OFFICERS AND ANNUAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH A PROGRAMMATIC AND FINANCIAL BASIS. APPLICATIONS FOR THESE RESTRICTED OPERATING GRANTS ARE SUBMITTED PERIODICALLY, SOME ON A PROJECT BY PROJECT BASIS, WHILE OTHERS ARE SUBMITTED ONCE A YEAR OR ONCE EVERY TWO YEARS. WITH RESPECT TO CONTRIBUTIONS, THE ORGANIZATION REGULARLY SOLICITS CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGH ITS WEB-SITE. AS PROOF OF THESE EFFORTS, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED A MAJOR ENDOWMENT IN 2015. OTHER FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES A.

B. HOW WE BENEFIT THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE ORGANIZATION SERVES THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC BY; 1) CREATING NEW NONPROLIFERATION AND BIOSECURITY INITIATIVES, 2) DEVELOPING INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS AND NEW POLICY ANALYSIS INSTITUTIONS FOCUSED ON THE NONPROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, 3) PROVIDING BRIEFINGS AND ANALYSES FOR THE EDUCATION OF POLICY MAKERS, AND 4) INTERACTING EXTENSIVELY WITH THE MEDIA FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THE DANGERS OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
