| SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 1 | THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION PROVIDE THAT THEY SHALL OPERATE FOR THE BENEFIT OF, TO SUPPORT THE FUNCTIONS OF, AND TO CARRY OUT SOME OR ALL OF THE CHARITABLE PURPOSES OF THE NAMED SUBSIDIARY ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND ALL OTHER 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS, QUALIFYING AS EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE CODE, NOW OR HEREAFTER AFFILIATED WITH, OPERATED, SUPERVISED OR CONTROLLED BY OR SUPERVISED OR CONTROLLED IN CONNECTION WITH, SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. FURTHER, PURSUANT TO THEIR BY-LAWS, THE GOVERNING BODY OF SANFORD (PARENT), SERVES AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION AS WELL AS ALL OF THE NAMED TAX-EXEMPT SUBSIDIARY ORGANIZATIONS. THUS, SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION MEETS THE RELATIONSHIP TEST AS A TYPE II ORGANIZATION BECAUSE THERE IS COMMON SUPERVISION AND CONTROL BETWEEN SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION AND ITS NAMED SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS. SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION ALSO SUPPORTS ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS AFFILIATED WITH THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS OR ARE 501(C)(3) PUBLIC CHARITIES AFFILIATED WITH THESE AFFILIATED ENTITIES. THEY ARE DESCRIBED BY CLASS. IN ADDITION, THE ARTICLES PROVIDE THAT IN FURTHERANCE OF THEIR PURPOSES, THIS CORPORATION MAY ENGAGE IN, ADVANCE, PROMOTE, SUPPORT, AND ADMINISTER CHARITABLE, SCIENTIFIC, AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE WHATSOEVER IN ITS OWN BEHALF OR AS THE AGENT, TRUSTEE, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF OTHERS. THIS INCLUDES TO AID OR ASSIST OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE ACTIVITIES ARE SUCH AS TO FURTHER, ACCOMPLISH, FOSTER, OR ATTAIN ANY SUCH PURPOSES. ALL POWERS OF THIS CORPORATION SHALL BE EXERCISED ONLY SO THAT THIS CORPORATION'S OPERATIONS SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN THE CONTEMPLATION OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. TO QUALIFY AS A SECTION 509(A)(3) SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, AN ORGANIZATION MUST SUPPORT ONE OR MORE SPECIFIED ORGANIZATIONS. FOR TYPE II SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, THE ARTICLES MUST DESIGNATE THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION(S) BY CLASS OR PURPOSE, AND WHICH INCLUDE PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE CLOSELY RELATED IN PURPOSE OR FUNCTION TO THE PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION SPECIFIED IN THE ARTICLES. THEREFORE, THE LACK OF INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS THAT SANFORD HEALTH FOUNDATION WILL SUPPORT IN ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION DOES NOT OTHERWISE DEFEAT THE ORGANIZATION'S STATUS AS A TYPE II SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE ITS ARTICLES DESCRIBE THESE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS BY CLASS (AFFILIATED WITH THE SPECIFIED SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION) AND REQUIRE THAT THEY BE EXEMPT FROM TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3). |
