| FORM 990, SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 17 | Compliance with the Facts and Circumstances Test of Treasury Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3) The Douglass Fund has followed the instructions for Schedule A, Part II, Section C of IRS Form 990 in order to determine its public support percentage. The Douglass Fund satisfies the "Facts and Circumstances" test of Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3) and, therefore, should continue to be classified as a public charity. As noted below, the public support percentage of The Douglass Fund is 14.73%, which is well above the 10% minimum threshold required by the Facts and Circumstances test. In addition, The Douglass Fund regularly receives bequests from estates. The following description represents a summary of how The Douglass Fund satisfies the Facts and Circumstances test. Ten-Percent Support Limitation (Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3)(i)): As reflected in Schedule A, Line 14, the percentage of public support for The Douglass Fund is 14.73%, which is well above the 10% minimum threshold required by the Facts and Circumstances test. Attraction of Public Support (Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3)(ii)): From its founding in 1969, the purpose and legacy of the Douglass Fund Trust have inspired and motivated donations that have allowed Douglass College, and its successor Douglass Residential College, to have significant impact on undergraduate women at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. As a public charity, The Douglass Fund will continue to receive gifts allowed by the Trust and other agreed terms. The exclusive purpose of The Douglass Fund is to hold, obtain, invest, dispose of, expend, apply, receive and administer property, both real and personal, for charitable, educational, scientific and other purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations issued pursuant thereto (referred to as the "Code"), and specifically to Support Douglass Residential College. Douglass Residential College is an intellectual community for undergraduate women within Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey, that inspires its students to learn, lead, and live with conviction, creativity, and critical thinking. Douglass Residential College draws approximately 2,600 women from the Rutgers University-New Brunswick undergraduate population. Students pursue many majors and career paths, and come from many different backgrounds. Douglass Residential College is the only residential women's college in the nation that is housed within a world class public research university. Douglass Residential College students enjoy a small college atmosphere and programs that support their success and leadership. At the same time, Douglass Residential College engages with all the rich educational and research resources of Rutgers-New Brunswick. Douglass Residential College has proven to be the sustainable model for women's higher education. The Douglass Fund provides funding for various programs and initiatives and also financial support for students of Douglass Residential College, for example: - By providing funding to Douglass Residential College for scholarships, study abroad funds, prizes and special opportunity funding; - For Douglass Residential College programs for women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math(STEM), including the summer research program, participants in science programs, STEM living-learning community, and computer labs; - For the global village, a living-learning community that seeks to develop intercultural understanding, global awareness and a sense of community among students at Douglass Residential College; and - For other programs to help educate women global leaders at Douglass Residential College. Trust distributions are directed by a Douglass Fund Committee composed of: - The Dean of Douglass Residential College (an employee of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey); - The President of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College; - An active member of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College jointly appointed by the Dean of Douglass College and the President of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College; - One person appointed by the Dean of Douglass Residential College (the appointee is an employee of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey); - An active member of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College appointed by the President of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College; and - The Executive Director of the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College who serves ex officio without vote. Examples of use of distributions from the Trust have been provided above. Percentage of Financial Support (Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iii)(A)): The public support percentage of The Douglass Fund is well above the 10% minimum threshold required by the Facts and Circumstances test. Sources of Support (Treasury Regulation 1.170A-((f)(3)(iii)(B)): The Douglass Fund attracts support from a broad range of people. Representative Governing Body (Treasury Regulation 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iii)(C)): The business and property of The Douglass Fund shall be managed and controlled by three Trustees. Here are the bios of the individuals serving as Trustees as of June 30, 2022. Jeanne M Fox is an Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.
