| Facts And Circumstances Test |
|---|
| FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, 2019, 2020 AND 2021, THE HARRISBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION (HPSF) DID NOT MEET THE 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST AS A PUBLIC CHARITY FOR SCHEDULE A OF FORM 990. THE FOLLOWING PRESENTS FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES FOR HPSF THAT INDICATE AT LEAST 10% OF HPSF'S SUPPORT COMES FROM GOVERNMENT UNITS AND/OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC; AND THAT WE ATTRACT NEW PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENT SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. HPSF REQUESTS THESE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSIDERED IN MAINTAINING ITS PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021. WHILE WE HAVE NOT MET THE PERCENTAGE THRESHOLD IN SCHEDULE A, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR MISSION IS CLEARLY ALIGNED WITH THAT OF A PUBLIC CHARITY AS DETAILED IN THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. ABOUT THE HARRISBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------- HPSF WAS FOUNDED IN 1998 TO HELP IMPROVE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, SUPPORT PROGRAMMING AND PROMOTE LEADERSHIP AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS WITHIN THE HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, SCHOOL DISTRICT (HSD). THE HSD IS ONE OF THE MOST ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN PENNSYLVANIA. HPSF WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT OF HSD AS IT DEALS WITH THE CHALLENGES OF AN URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT. HPSF FACILITATES COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND BRINGS TOGETHER RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE "OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE." ALTHOUGH ALL HPSF EFFORTS ARE TARGETED TO PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HSD STUDENTS, HPSF IS INDEPENDENT OF HSD. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE HSD ADMINISTRATION, BUT ALL FUND RAISING, EXPENDITURES AND DECISIONS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HPSF BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SOURCES OF CONTRIBUTIONS / PUBLIC SUPPORT ----------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING TABLE INDICATES HPSFS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FROM SCHEDULE A OF FORM 990 FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS: YEAR ENDED PUBLIC SUPPORT % -------------- ---------------- JUNE 30, 2021 21.07% JUNE 30, 2020 23.54% JUNE 30, 2019 26.24% JUNE 30, 2018 30.96% JUNE 30, 2017 36.25% JUNE 30, 2016 39.99% IN MOST YEARS, APPROXIMATELY 90% OF HPSFS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE RECEIVED THROUGH THE PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDIT PROGRAM (PA EITC), UNDER WHICH HPSF IS AN APPROVED EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION (EIO). THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (DCED) ADMINISTERS THIS STATE-SPONSORED PROGRAM. HPSF UNDERGOES A DCED PROGRAM RENEWAL PROCESS EACH YEAR TO QUALIFY AS AN EIO AND MUST COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT GOVERN SPENDING OF CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THROUGH THE PROGRAM. CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED CAN ONLY BE SPENT ON DCED-APPROVED PROGRAMS (A RECAP OF SOME OF THE APPROVED PROGRAMS FOR HPSF APPEARS BELOW). COMPANIES WISHING TO RECEIVE TAX CREDITS THROUGH THE PA EITC PROGRAM ARE ALSO APPROVED FOR PARTICIPATION BY DCED. DCED APPROVAL IS ONLY FOR THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTIONS THE PARTICIPANT CAN MAKE TO QUALIFYING ORGANIZATIONS - DCED DOES NOT APPROVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIFIC QUALIFYING ORGANIZATIONS. THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY DECIDES TO WHICH ORGANIZATIONS A CONTRIBUTION IS MADE. CONSEQUENTLY, EACH YEAR HPSF SOLICITS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM COMPANIES THAT IT BELIEVES MAY HAVE AN INTEREST IN SUPPORTING EDUCATION IN HSD. HPSF HAS BEEN FORTUNATE IN MOST YEARS TO HAVE A COMPANY, HEADQUARTERED IN HARRISBURG, PA, THAT SUPPORTS EDUCATION AND PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF HPSFS PA EITC CONTRIBUTIONS. THE CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED FROM THIS COMPANY (AND FROM SEVERAL OTHER CONTRIBUTORS THROUGH PA EITC) ARE NOT INCLUDED AS PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR PURPOSES OF SCHEDULE A CALCULATIONS DUE TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNT CONTRIBUTED. CONTRIBUTORS TO HPSF UNDER THE PA EITC PROGRAM VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED ON ANNUAL HPSF EFFORTS TO SOLICIT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM VARIOUS AREA COMPANIES AND APPROVAL BY DCED FOR COMPANIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. HPSF ALSO ANNUALLY SOLICITS THE PUBLIC FOR CONTRIBUTIONS UNDER ITS ADOPT- A-CLASSROOM PROGRAM, ALSO DESCRIBED BELOW, AND OTHER NON-PA EITC-RELATED ACTIVITIES.

| PART II, LINE 17A | FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, 2019, 2020 AND 2021, THE HARRISBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION (HPSF) DID NOT MEET THE 33 1/3% PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST AS A PUBLIC CHARITY FOR SCHEDULE A OF FORM 990. THE FOLLOWING PRESENTS FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES FOR HPSF THAT INDICATE AT LEAST 10% OF HPSF'S SUPPORT COMES FROM GOVERNMENT UNITS AND/OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC; AND THAT WE ATTRACT NEW PUBLIC OR GOVERNMENT SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. HPSF REQUESTS THESE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES BE CONSIDERED IN MAINTAINING ITS PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021. WHILE WE HAVE NOT MET THE PERCENTAGE THRESHOLD IN SCHEDULE A, WE BELIEVE THAT OUR MISSION IS CLEARLY ALIGNED WITH THAT OF A PUBLIC CHARITY AS DETAILED IN THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. ABOUT THE HARRISBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------- HPSF WAS FOUNDED IN 1998 TO HELP IMPROVE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, SUPPORT PROGRAMMING AND PROMOTE LEADERSHIP AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS WITHIN THE HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, SCHOOL DISTRICT (HSD). THE HSD IS ONE OF THE MOST ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN PENNSYLVANIA. HPSF WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT OF HSD AS IT DEALS WITH THE CHALLENGES OF AN URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT. HPSF FACILITATES COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND BRINGS TOGETHER RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE "OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE." ALTHOUGH ALL HPSF EFFORTS ARE TARGETED TO PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HSD STUDENTS, HPSF IS INDEPENDENT OF HSD. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE HSD ADMINISTRATION, BUT ALL FUND RAISING, EXPENDITURES AND DECISIONS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HPSF BOARD OF DIRECTORS. SOURCES OF CONTRIBUTIONS / PUBLIC SUPPORT ----------------------------------------- THE FOLLOWING TABLE INDICATES HPSFS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FROM SCHEDULE A OF FORM 990 FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS: YEAR ENDED PUBLIC SUPPORT % -------------- ---------------- JUNE 30, 2021 21.07% JUNE 30, 2020 23.54% JUNE 30, 2019 26.24% JUNE 30, 2018 30.96% JUNE 30, 2017 36.25% JUNE 30, 2016 39.99% IN MOST YEARS, APPROXIMATELY 90% OF HPSFS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE RECEIVED THROUGH THE PENNSYLVANIA EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TAX CREDIT PROGRAM (PA EITC), UNDER WHICH HPSF IS AN APPROVED EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION (EIO). THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (DCED) ADMINISTERS THIS STATE-SPONSORED PROGRAM. HPSF UNDERGOES A DCED PROGRAM RENEWAL PROCESS EACH YEAR TO QUALIFY AS AN EIO AND MUST COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS THAT GOVERN SPENDING OF CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED THROUGH THE PROGRAM. CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED CAN ONLY BE SPENT ON DCED-APPROVED PROGRAMS (A RECAP OF SOME OF THE APPROVED PROGRAMS FOR HPSF APPEARS BELOW). COMPANIES WISHING TO RECEIVE TAX CREDITS THROUGH THE PA EITC PROGRAM ARE ALSO APPROVED FOR PARTICIPATION BY DCED. DCED APPROVAL IS ONLY FOR THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTIONS THE PARTICIPANT CAN MAKE TO QUALIFYING ORGANIZATIONS - DCED DOES NOT APPROVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIFIC QUALIFYING ORGANIZATIONS. THE PARTICIPATING COMPANY DECIDES TO WHICH ORGANIZATIONS A CONTRIBUTION IS MADE. CONSEQUENTLY, EACH YEAR HPSF SOLICITS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM COMPANIES THAT IT BELIEVES MAY HAVE AN INTEREST IN SUPPORTING EDUCATION IN HSD.
