Facts And Circumstances Test
ESTABLISHED IN 1994 AS A "COMMUNITY FOUNDATION", THE LUZERNE FOUNDATION ("TLF") IS A FORCE FOR PHILANTHROPY IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND BEYOND. TLF'S PRIMARY MISSION IS TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIVING IN LUZERNE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. IT SEEKS TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION BY SUPPORTING THE FOLLOWING SEVEN KEY AREAS OF NEED THAT TOGETHER SUPPORT A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY: SOCIAL SERVICES; EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIPS; ARTS AND CULTURE, NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, YOUTH ISSUES, HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND HEALTH AND WELLNESS. SINCE ITS INCEPTION THROUGH 2019, TLF HAS MADE FINANCIAL GRANTS TOTALING IN EXCESS OF $164 MILLION TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION THROUGH THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF A WIDE VARIETY OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND MISSIONS, OF MOSTLY SMALL NONPROFIT, TAX EXEMPT COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATED IN AND SERVING THE RESIDENTS OF LUZERNE COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES LOCATED IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. TLF MAINTAINS OVER 365 DONOR ESTABLISHED MISSION-DIRECTED FUNDS THAT IN THE AGGREGATE HAVE A CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE IN EXCESS OF $42 MILLION. SUPPORT FOR TLF AND ITS MISSION IS OBTAINED PRIMARILY THROUGH DIRECT SOLICITATION OF INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT THE CONCLUSION THAT TLF SATISFIES THE "10% FACTS & CIRCUMSTANCES TEST" SET FORTH IN TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.170A-9(E)(3):-PERCENTAGE OF "PUBLIC SUPPORT": FOR THE 2019 CALENDAR YEAR TLF'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE WAS 21.53%. 2014 WAS THE FIRST YEAR SINCE TLF WAS ESTABLISHED THAT ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE DID NOT EXCEED 33 1/3%. -BROAD BASE OF TLF'S SUPPORT: IN 2019, TLF RECEIVED MORE THAN 3,504 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM 2,395 DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES. SUBSTANTIALLY, ALL OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT TLF RECEIVED IN 2019 WERE FROM INDIVIDUALS RESIDING IN AND BUSINESSES LOCATED IN LUZERNE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA AND COUNTIES IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING IT. LUZERNE COUNTY HAS A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 330,000 RESIDENTS, MANY OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN. THUS, TLF PROUDLY BOASTS THAT IT IS BROADLY SUPPORTED BY A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF THE ADULT MEMBERS OF ITS IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY. -TLF'S GOVERNING BODY HAS BROAD COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE AND REPRESENTATION: TLF IS A NONPROFIT, NON-STOCK PENNSYLVANIA CORPORATION. IT IS GOVERNED BY A SELF-PERPETUATING BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EACH OF WHOM HAS ONE VOTE. TLF'S BYLAWS PROVIDE THAT ITS DIRECTORS BE ADULTS "RESIDING IN OR NEAR, OR OTHERWISE BE CLOSELY IDENTIFIED WITH, LUZERNE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA". TLF'S BYLAWS FURTHER PROVIDE THAT DIRECTORS "SHOULD BE KNOWLEDGEABLE REGARDING THE CHARITABLE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITIES SERVED AND HAVE STANDING IN THOSE COMMUNITIES AND ACCESS TO BUSINESSES, GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN PROMOTING, ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTING THE CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CORPORATION, AND BE ACTIVE IN OR OTHERWISE INVOLVED WITH THE CHARITABLE NEEDS OF THOSE COMMUNITIES". IN 2019, TLF'S BOARD WAS COMPRISED OF 21 VOTING MEMBERS, EACH OF WHOM SATISFIES THE PROFILE OF AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR BEING A DIRECTOR AS SET FORTH IN TLF'S BYLAWS. -REGULAR AND CONTINUOUS EFFORTS TO SOLICIT PUBLIC SUPPORT: TLF MAINTAINS ACTIVE AND CONTINUOUS EFFORTS AND PROGRAMS TO SOLICIT AND OBTAIN CONTRIBUTIONS AND BEQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC. TLF'S EFFORTS IN THIS REGARD BEGIN WITH ITS EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH ITS COMMUNITY IDENTITY AND TO MAKE THE PUBLIC POSITIVELY AWARE OF AND FAMILIAR WITH ITS NAME, LOGO, MISSION AND VALUES. MUCH OF TLF'S PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED WEBSITE IS DEDICATED TO EDUCATING AND FAMILIARIZING THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, AS WELL AS PROSPECTIVE DONORS IN PARTICULAR, ABOUT TLF, ITS MISSION AS A ROBUST COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND THE NUMEROUS, ATTRACTIVE AND FLEXIBLE WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE BOTH FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES TO SUPPORT TLF AND ITS MISSION. AS ONE OF ITS REQUIRED AND IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, THE STAFF OF TLF REGULARLY ORGANIZES AND ENGAGES IN ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS (E.G., SEMINARS AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND LECTURES BY PROMINENT PROFESSIONALS IN SUCH FIELDS AS ESTATE AND TAX PLANNING THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) DESIGNED TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE BENEFITS OF SUPPORTING TLF AND OTHERWISE TO ATTRACT AND ENCOURAGE CONTRIBUTIONS AND BEQUESTS FROM THE PUBLIC. TLF REGULARLY USES ELECTRONIC AND REGULAR MAIL TO SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC. TLF ALSO REGULARLY UTILIZES LOCAL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS TO ATTRACT AND SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC AND SEEKS TO OBTAIN PUBLIC SUPPORT THROUGH PERSUADING LOCAL MEDIA TO PROVIDE UNPAID COVERAGE ABOUT TLF, ITS MISSION, ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS. IN ADDITION, EACH MEMBER OF TLF'S BOARD ACCEPTS THE ROLE OF GOODWILL AMBASSADOR AND AS A SOLICITOR OF PUBLIC SUPPORT AS A DIRECTOR'S SIGNIFICANT DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY. -NO MEMBER OF TLF'S GOVERNING BODY IS A "SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTOR": NOT ONLY DOES TLF ENGAGE IN AND MAINTAIN NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND WAYS TO ACTIVELY AND CONTINUOUSLY SOLICIT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MOST OF THE SUPPORT THAT IT DOES OBTAIN IS CONTRIBUTED BY MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT NO MEMBER OF TLF'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS A "SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTOR" TO TLF WITHIN THE MEANING OF IRC SECTION 507(D)(2). MOREOVER, NO MEMBER OF TLF'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NOR ANY TLF OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE, NOR ANY OF THEIR RELATIVES [WITHIN THE MEANING OF IRC SECTION 507(D)(2)(C)(II)] HAS CONTRIBUTED OR BEQUEATHED, IN THE AGGREGATE, MORE THAN 2% OF THE TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND BEQUESTS RECEIVED BY TLF FROM ITS INCEPTION THROUGH AND INCLUDING DECEMBER 31, 2019. -PUBLIC ACCESS TO TLF AND ITS RESOURCES. BY DESIGN, THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO THE ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES OF TLF. THE WEBSITE OF TLF MAINTAINS A LINK TO ITS MOST RECENTLY AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS WELL AS A LINK TO ITS CURRENT AND SEVERAL PRIOR YEARS' IRS FORMS 990. IN ADDITION, TLF'S WEBSITE PROVIDES AN EASILY COMPLETED APPLICATION FOR NONPROFITS THAT WISH TO APPLY FOR A GRANT. TLF MAINTAINS A DATABASE FOR EACH NONPROFIT THAT APPLIES FOR A GRANT AND STRIVES TO KEEP THE DATA IT COLLECTS CURRENT. ANNUALLY, TLF HOSTS FORUMS AND SEMINARS FOR NONPROFITS THAT HELP THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES TO MAKE OTHER NONPROFITS AWARE OF THEIR RESOURCES AS WELL AS BETTER AWARE OF HOW TLF CAN BETTER SUPPORT THEIR MISSIONS AND PURPOSES. ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS, TLF COLLABORATES WITH OTHER LARGE REGIONAL NONPROFIT PROVIDERS OF GOODS AND SERVICES TO MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY ADDRESS REGIONAL CONCERNS, NEEDS AND DISASTERS. AND, TLF MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND OPEN DIALOGUE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH TLF DONOR ADVISED OR RESTRICTED FUNDS AS WELL AS WITH OTHER CONTRIBUTORS TO BETTER INSURE THAT TLF'S FUNDS ARE BEING DISBURSED APPROPRIATELY AND AS REQUESTED. TLF REGULARLY POSTS ON ITS WEBSITE AND FURNISHES, TO ANYONE WHO SUBSCRIBES, NEWS AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT ITS OPERATIONS AND THE STATUS OF PARTICULAR PROJECTS AND NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SERVES.-TLF'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND MATERIALS: TLF REGULARLY CONDUCTS/SPONSORS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND PRODUCES INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS/REPORTS FOR DONORS, GRANTEE NONPROFITS AND PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS. IN EACH CASE, SUCH PROGRAMS, MATERIALS AND REPORTS ARE DESIGNED TO ASSIST AND EDUCATE OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT TLF SERVES ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES' NEEDS AND BEST METHODS AND WAYS TO ADDRESS SUCH NEEDS. THROUGH ITS WEBSITE, MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS AND THROUGH MORE DIRECT ELECTRONIC AND REGULAR MAIL CONTACT, TLF ADVERTISES AND OTHERWISE INFORMS OTHERS ABOUT THE OPEN AND FREE AVAILABILITY OF ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND MATERIALS. -ACTIVE AND CONTINUOUS COLLABORATION WITH AND PARTICIPATION BY COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS: THE STAFF AND BOARD OF TLF MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND A CONTINUOUS DIALOGUE WITH BOTH COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT TLF SERVES. DUE TO THE NATURE AND SIZE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT TLF SERVES, MANY CURRENT AND FORMER COMMUNITY LEADERS AND SOME FORMER PUBLIC OFFICIALS SERVE FROM TIME TO TIME AS A TLF DIRECTOR OR ARE MEMBERS OF ITS FOUNDERS' BOARD (THAT SERVES TLF IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY). FORMER TLF DIRECTOR JOHN T. YUDICHAK ALSO SERVES AS A PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATOR AND TLF'S REMAINING DIRECTORS SERVE THE PUBLIC IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES SUCH AS CPAS, ATTORNEYS, BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS, FINANCIAL SERVICES AND/OR COMMUNITY ADVOCATES.

EACH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION'S 501(C)(3) STATUS AND EIN IS VERIFIED THROUGH THE USE OF GUIDESTAR AND CHARITY CHECK, ONLINE RESOURCES SUITED FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH IS DONE VIA THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE OR VIA DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OR CEO OF THE ORGANIZATION.

IN ADDITION, GRANT RECIPIENTS WHO RECEIVE GRANTS FROM THE UNRESTRICTED FUND ARE PROVIDED WITH A GRANT REPORTING FORM THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE RETURNED TO THE FOUNDATION WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. THE RECIPIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A NARRATIVE ON ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE GRANT. THE GRANTEES WHO RECEIVE GRANTS FROM DONOR ADVISED FUNDS ARE PROVIDED WITH A MORE TAILORED GRANT REPORTING FORM AND ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO PROVIDE NARRATIVES RELATING TO THE PROGRESS AND ACTIVITY RELATED TO THE GRANT.
