| Current Year Facts and Circumstances: As a nonprofit organization, UniversalGiving must be able to demonstrate that it "normally" receives at least 33 1/3% of its support from the general public.

The organization will be treated as normally receiving substantial public support if at least 10 percent of the total support normally received by the organization is governmental or public support [Reg. Section 1.170A-9(e)(3)(i)]. An organization meets the requirement of attracting new and additional public or governmental support if it maintains a continuous and bona fide program for soliciting funds from the general public or it carries on activities designed to attract support from governmental units, churches, educational organizations, or other publicly supported charitable or cultural organizations [Reg.
