| Part II, Section C, Line 17a | The facts and circumstances for qualifying as a public charity : The Foundations funds represent donations made by several thousand individuals practicing in the fields of photogrammetry, remote sensing and geospatial analysis, over a period of 40 of years, with the specific objective of fully endowing the awards and scholarship grants made by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). The Public Support ratio fell to 23.16% in 2018 for several reasons, including the fact that investment income has increased significantly in recent years combined with the fact the donor class is generally aware that the designated award funds have essentially reached full endowment status. In addition, the annual transfer of funds donated to the Foundation by ASPRS members through the ASPRS dues-check-off program has been delayed as ASPRS has struggled with management issues. It is anticipated that those delays will soon be rectified. Further, the Foundation is aware that one or more major donor plans to establish a new award in either 2019 or 2020, with funding to be contributed over a period of several years. That action may well expand the potential for additional donations. Reviewing all of the factors, the organization believes it will soon meet the 33 1/3% support test once again. |
