THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD IS A DEMONSTRATION IN PRACTICE TO PAF'S COMMITMENT REPRESENTING THE BROAD INTEREST, AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES, OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND TO GOVERN THE OPERATIONS WITH A DIVERSE, YET UNIFIED, POINT OF VIEW THAT WILL ENABLE THE FOUNDATION TO EXECUTE MEANINGFUL PATIENT PROGRAMS, DESIGNED TO ADDRESS GAPS IN THE CURRENT HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT AND ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM A BROAD RANGE OF POTENTIAL DONORS. THE PAF EXECUTIVE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HOLDS FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY AND MANAGES AND CONTROLS THE ORGANIZATION AND PROPERTY OF PAF TO THE EXTENT VESTED IN THEM BY THE PAF BYLAWS.

MOREOVER, NO DONOR HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPOINT DIRECTORS TO THE PAF BOARD. IN THIS REGARD, PAF IS STRIKINGLY DIFFERENT FROM A PRIVATE FOUNDATION WHERE IT IS COMMONPLACE FOR THE GOVERNING BODY TO BE COMPRISED OF MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS, MEMBERS CHOSEN BY MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS AND/OR FAMILY MEMBERS AFFILIATED TO THE FOUNDATION, OR BOTH. 4.

INCLUSION IN EARNED MEDIA STORIES; PROFILES OF PAF PROGRAMS AND PATIENTS SERVED BY PAF SUMMARY IN SUMMARY, PATIENT ADVOCATE FOUNDATION EMBODIES ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, BASED ON THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.170A-9(E) (3) OF THE TREASURY REGULATIONS. PAF DEMONSTRATES, IN POLICY AND PRACTICE, THAT ITS OPERATIONS ARE FREE FROM THE INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OF ITS DONORS, FURTHER, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT A SMALL GROUP OF DONORS CONTROL PAF; RATHER, PAF IS A DIVERSE, COMPLEX PATIENT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION THAT HAS OPERATED AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION. PAF CONTINUES TO OPERATE CONGRUENTLY WITH A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, GARNERING SUPPORT FROM A BROAD CROSS SECTION OF DONORS, INCLUDING THE GOVERNMENT, OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY. PAF CONTINUES ITS DILIGENCE IN SEEKING NEW SOURCES OF SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS WELL AS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. ACCORDINGLY, THE FOUNDATION QUALIFIES AS A "PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 170(B) (1) (A) (VI).
