| ANGUS FOUNDATION'S (AF) SUPPORT PERCENTAGE DROPPED BELOW 33 1/3% DUE TO A LARGE ESTATE GIFT RECEIVED IN THE 2015 AND 2016 TAX YEARS. THIS ESTATE GIFT CAME WITH THE PASSING OF A LONG-TIME SUPPORTER OF AF AND ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE; NO FURTHER GIFTS WILL BE RECEIVED FROM THE ESTATE. DUE TO THE HISTORY OF REGULAR DONATIONS FROM THIS DONOR, AF DOES NOT FEEL THE ESTATE GIFT CAN BE TREATED AS AN UNUSUAL GRANT, BUT THE SIZE OF THE GIFT IS VERY OUT OF THE ORDINARY AS COMPARED TO TYPICAL OPERATIONS. ONCE THIS GIFT HAS ROLLED OFF OF THE SCHEDULE A, PART II TEST WITH EITHER THE 2020 OR 2021 TAX FILINGS, THE SUPPORT PERCENTAGE SHOULD AGAIN RISE ABOVE THE 33 1/3% THRESHOLD DUE TO THE LONG-STANDING AND CONTINUED EFFORTS OF AF TO SOLICIT FUNDS FROM VARIED PUBLIC SOURCES. AF DOES RECEIVE REGULAR SUPPORT FROM AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION (AAA) A RELATED 501(C)(5) ORGANIZATION. AAA IS ALSO DISCLOSED AS AN EXCESS CONTRIBUTOR, BUT AF RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL FUNDING WHICH EXCEEDS THIS SINGULAR SOURCE OF SUPPORT.AF MAINTAINS A REGULAR AND CONTINUOUS PROGRAM FOR SOLICITING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. EFFORTS INCLUDE:- ANNUAL FUND MAIL SOLICITATION - SENT TO 20,000+ MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION- 689 DONORS IN 2018- 13 CONSECUTIVE YEARS 500+ DONORS- 2 FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICERS- FUNDRAISING EVENTS - NWSS ANGUS BULL SALE, LAS VEGAS NATIONAL FINALS ANGUS SALE, ETC.- CAMPAIGNS AND FUNDRAISING PROJECTS - SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB PORTRAIT/SCHOLARSHIPS, NATIONAL JUNIOR ANGUS SHOW ENDOWMENT FUND, ANGUS: RESEARCHING NEW FRONTIERS, SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP DRIVES, ETC.THESE SOLICITATIONS ARE MADE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH MAIL, EMAIL, THE AF WEBSITE AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PUBLIC; THEY ARE NOT LIMITED TO ANY SPECIFIC GROUP, OTHER THAN APPEALING TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO SUPPORT AF'S EXEMPT PURPOSE. FUNDING RAISED BY AF IS USED TO BENEFIT THE BREED ACROSS THE WORLD, AND OVER ITS 49 YEAR HISTORY HAS DEMONSTRATED THE BROAD SUPPORT OF THAT MISSION FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. AF DEDICATES APPROXIMATELY 30% OF ITS TIME AND RESOURCES ENSURING SUPPORT IS COMING IN AND IS COMING IN FROM A VARIED CROSS-SECTION OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. |
